Why can sound only travel a certain distance on the earth?
It has something to do with the loss of energy that is inherent in a waveform.
Light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot Why is this?
Sound can only travel through air or water, not through a vacuum, it works in stronger waves than light.
Is acoustic energy same as mechanical energy?
acoustic or sound energy is a kinetic form of energy sound waves can only be measured when they travel through a medium, eich means that they have some velocity and hence acoustic energy is kinetic energy.
Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?
false because it can also travel out of waves
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
It is told that sound cannot travel trough vacuum. Sound can only travel through medium.
Why can sound only travel a certain distance on the earth?

Is sound energy the only energy that uses waves to travel?
No, light travels in waves too.
We can only hear sound travel because there is a medium that produces a disturbance so our ears can detect it. Can the energy that produces sound travel through space without us hearing it?
No. The medium carries the energy. No medium = no sound + no energy + nothing heard.
Light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot Why is this?
Sound can only travel through air or water, not through a vacuum, it works in stronger waves than light.
What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?
It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through space.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Is acoustic energy same as mechanical energy?
acoustic or sound energy is a kinetic form of energy sound waves can only be measured when they travel through a medium, eich means that they have some velocity and hence acoustic energy is kinetic energy.
Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?
false because it can also travel out of waves
Does sound travel in air?
Yes, sound does travel through air, but to be more precise, sound can travel only through a physical medium (solids liquids and gases). Sound is actually a form of energy which can move from place to place only by vibrating particles. So this means that sound cannot be heard in vacume. Creating a vacume is a fool proof method of sound proofing a particular space.
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
It is told that sound cannot travel trough vacuum. Sound can only travel through medium.
A wave will only travel as long as it has energy to carry?
A wave needs energy to travel.
What is the only way that energy can travel from the sun to earth?
By radiation, mostly infra red, visible, and ultra violet EM radiation
