What can't transmitted sound?
transmission of soud requires a medium so sound cannot transmit in vacuum
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.
Which of the following is not capable of transmitting sound. air steel water a vacuum?
A Vacuum cannot transmit sound. A vacuum is by definition, void of any matter. Since sound is transmitted by passing vibrations in matter, without matter it can't carry any sound.
What type of thing does not transmit sound?
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.
How is light different from sound?
Sound is the vibration of molecules and atoms. Light is made up of things called "light quanta" or "photons." This means that sound cannot travel through a vacuum (there are obviously no molecules or atoms in a vacuum to transmit sound) but light can.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.
Why is it that light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot?
Sound is a vibration that must travel through some medium such as air or water. Space is a vacuum and so cannot transmit sound. Light is an electromagnetic wave; it is self-propagating.
Can sound travle to space?
Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Is vacuum the sound that travels best?
No: worst. Sound cannot travel though a vacuum.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why sound does not travel through a vacuum such as in space or on the moon?
The absence of air molecules to transmit and carry sound waves .
