What kind of energy is sound?

Electro-magnetic.


What can travel in a vacuum?

Light or radioactive particles. They uses electro magnetic radiation as a medium for them to travel through, Waves like sound can not travel through vacuum because they need physical mediums like air.


What objects are difficult for sound to travel through?

sound travels the fastest in solids and slower in liquids and even slower in gases and cannot travel in vacuum..so its most difficult for the sound to travel in gases


What makes the tv work?

What conductors are found in a tree?

tree sap, since it makes a radiative sound of electro-magnetic waves.

No, it works on electro magnetic radiation.


Does light or sound travel slower?

Sound, in normal air. First lightning then thunder!


Why does sound travel faster than light?

light is a electro-magnetic wave in which the magnetic and electric fields causes generation of one other and they are not transversal waves, also they can travel in a medium and without a medium( in vaccum or space) ie our radio signals, light waves ettc.. but on other hand the sound waves require a medium to travel, indeed the sound energy propagates by a kind of disturbance that is produced when molecules viberating in their normal frequencies start to viberate with more displacement and this causes collision and transfer of energy to neighbouring molecules and the continuity of the process restricts the speed with which this disturbance is travelling.


Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?

Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.


What does sound travel a little slower through?

Does sound travel faster or slower when the air gets warmer?

How does a audio speaker work?

an audio speaker works by an electro magnetic coil that vibrates when a sound wave or current is running through it. thats what makes the sound.
