It is because sound travel from particles to particles.In vacuum,there is no material medium and thus no particle through which vibrations can travel from one end to the other.
What else can I help you with?
How does the process of travelling heat from vacuum differ from the heat travel through matter?
In a vacuum, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry thermal energy. In matter, however, heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, and radiation. Matter allows for direct contact between particles, facilitating conduction and convection, whereas a vacuum does not support these mechanisms.
What forms of energy transfer does the vacuum prevent?
Sound, as this is a compression wave through a fluid (liquid or gas) or solid material. The electromagnetic spectrum finds a vacuum no trouble at all. cw: Vacuums prevent convection and conduction but do not prevent radiation.
Does vacuum conduct heat?
No, a vacuum does not conduct heat as it does not have any particles to transfer thermal energy. Heat transfer can only occur through conduction, convection, or radiation, and a vacuum eliminates the possibility of conduction and convection.
How is conduction prevented in a thermos flask?
There are many ways this is done. It can be done by having a double walled thermos with either air, an insulator, or a vacuum between. A vacuum will prevent all conduction except where the two walls touch but requires stronger materials.
Why is vacuum the best thermal insulator?
Heat travels in 3 ways. Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through collision of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movements of particles (ie. hot particle rises, cold particle sinks). Vacuum is made up of nothing (when there is no particle, it is vacuum), and so, it is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection at all, making it the best thermal insulator
How the thermos flask prevents heat loss by conduction?
There is a dead air space between the liner of the thermos and the outside. This space acts as insulation preventing conduction. In a really good thermos, or Dewar flask, the space is actually a vacuum. Vacuum is an even better insulator than air is, since heat doesn't conduct across a vacuum at all.
What occurs if high resistance joint was left?
The chances are that the resistance will increase, so that in the end there will be no conduction through the joint at all .
If light travels at 186000 miles per second in a perfect vacuum at what speed does sound travel under the same conditions?
Sound doesn't travel at all in a perfect vacuum. Sound needs a material substance to move anywhere.
Why does conduction occurs in all materials?
Conduction occurs in all materials because heat is transferred through direct contact between neighboring particles. When there is a temperature difference between two regions of a material, kinetic energy is transferred from faster-moving particles to slower-moving particles, resulting in the flow of heat. This process can occur in solids, liquids, and gases, although the efficiency of conduction varies depending on the material's conductivity.
What is the main difference between conduction and convection?
A traditional conduction oven has a heat source at the bottom and bakes from the bottom up. Whereas convection has a fan blower that circulates the heat all around the food cooking much more evenly and faster.
Is using an oven conduction convection or radiation?
Using an oven involves all three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs through direct contact between the food and the hot oven walls or racks. Convection involves the movement of hot air within the oven to distribute heat evenly. Radiation occurs when heat is emitted from the oven walls and heats the food by electromagnetic waves.
How radiation and convection is alike?
Conduction, Convection, and radiation are all ways that heat can be transferred between 2 objects. Conduction is transfer by direct contact like when you cook something on the stove. Convection occurs when heat is transferred by movement like in the Earth's mantle. Radiation occurs when waves are used to transfer heat like sunlight.
