What we hear as sound is caused by pressure waves in the air which make small hairs deep inside our ears vibrate. Since there is no air or anything at all inside of a vacuum, there are no molecules to bump into each other to transfer the pressure wave through space.
What else can I help you with?
Why vacuum cannot transmit sound?
Sound is transmitted by atoms bumping into other atoms.
What can't transmitted sound?
transmission of soud requires a medium so sound cannot transmit in vacuum
What type of thing does not transmit sound?
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.
What could conclude that sound is transmitted fastest in a. solids b. liquids c. gases d. a vacuum?
Sound is transmitted fastest in solids because the particles are closely packed, allowing for faster vibration and transmission of sound waves. Liquids come next, followed by gases, and sound cannot be transmitted through a vacuum as there are no particles to carry the sound waves.
Could you hear an acoustic guitar in space?
No "space" is mostly a vacuum. No sound is transmitted in a vacuum. You would not hear a starship exploding either!
What transmits a sound through solid?
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
What are both sound energy an light energy transmitted as?
Sound energy is transmitted as mechanical waves that propagate through a medium such as air, water, or solids. Light energy, on the other hand, is transmitted as electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Does sound travel in vaccum?
No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot be transmitted.
Which of the following is not capable of transmitting sound. air steel water a vacuum?
A vacuum is not capable of transmitting sound because it does not contain any particles for sound waves to travel through. Sound waves require a medium such as air, water, or steel in order to propagate.
What is sound energy transmitted through?
Sound energy is transmitted through a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials. As the sound waves travel through the medium, they cause particles to vibrate, carrying the sound energy from the source to the listener.
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.
What has to happen to make sounds travel?
Atoms transfer sound energy through vibrations. If there are no atoms, such as in a vacuum, sounds cannot be transmitted.
