Can sound energy travel through the vacuum of space?
No sound can travel through space. Sound travels by vibrating adjacent molecules. The sound wave travels along these molecules until it dissipates with distance. In the vacuum of space, there are no molecules (this is not considering celestial bodies like planets or meteors because they are not a part of the vacuum), so sound cannot travel.
Where can no sound be found?
No sound can be found in a vacuum, where there is no medium for sound waves to travel through.
Can sound travle to space?
Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum
Why is it impossible for sound to travel through outer space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or solid surfaces, to travel through. In outer space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate in the vacuum of space.
If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?
Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
What is it that sound cannot travel through?
Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
How do sound waves travel to a satellite?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
Can you hear noise in space?
No. In a vacuum there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through.
Can people here sound in space?
No. Sound is the vibration of air. Sound will not travel in a vacuum. Space is a vacuum
Can you hear anything in outer space?
No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Astronauts can hear inside their spacecrafts where there is air, but they cannot hear anything outside in the vacuum of space.
Can sound waves move through space?
No, sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, so they cannot move through the vacuum of space where there is no air or other material. In space, sound waves cannot propagate because there is no medium to carry the vibrations.
