How fast would the speed of sound be if you could hear sound in space?
Well, we know that in any material medium, the speed of sound increases along with the density of the medium. The more dense the medium, the higher the speed of sound, and the less dense the medium, the lower the speed of sound. All of this points in the direction that as the density of the medium tends toward zero, the speed of sound in it also tends toward zero. So I guess in space, where the density of material stuff is next to zero, we would expect that the speed of sound would also be next to zero. But consider this: We know that you can't hear sound in space. Since you have already made up a pretend condition for your question, saying that you can hear sound in space, why don't you go ahead and make up a speed too; whatever pleases you.
Why do sounds NOT travel through outer space?
Sound is a vibration when something makes a noise every thing around vibrates in order to make the sound for it to travel it needs particles to vibrate there is almost no matter in outer space hence no particles
What is a sound montage?
is lots on sound put together to make a big sound for E.g. if you was making a sound montage of a classroom you would have to think of all the sounds you can hear in a classroom then put them together to make a sound montage
Why are how does a ruler change note it plays when you change its length?
The pitch of the ruler changes because of the vibration.When there is more space for the ruler to vibrate and make a sound,the pitch changes and becomes softer and longer.When there is lesser space for the vibration, the sound is shorter and louder.
Can sound wave travel through space?
No a sound wave can't travel through space because in space there is no air and sound waves need a medium to pass though. If you don't know what a medium is, it is something the waves or rays travel through. If you have ever watched a rocket blast off and you couldn't here the rocket make any noise once it left Earth that is why.
Can you make a sound in space?
no
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.
Do planets make sound when they orbit?
There is no sound in space, since there is no air, and therefore they do not make sound.
What s the speed of sound in space?
Basically, sound doesn't travel in space, i.e., in a vacuum.Speed = distance/timeIf you make a sound over here in space, it would take an infinite time to arriveover there, since sound doesn't travel at all in space. The formula becomesSpeed = distance/∞and that's zero .
Is there any kind of silencer for saxo phone?
No, but the best way to make it quieter is to play into a closet or a smaller space where the sound will stay and not resonate.
Why does a mobile phone make sound?
mummy
How does a telephone make sound?
Electrical impulses sent down the phone-line are converted back into sound by the phone's electronics.
If the earth is rotating why space is so silent?
If you expect the rotation to produce a sound, that would require the Earth to scrape against something. This would produce sound and heat, and make the Earth's movement slow down gradually. However, space is almost empty.
How do you make sound on alchemic phone?
First, make sure the sound for your device is on. Then go into the alchemic phone app. At the bottom center of the screen is a gear in a circle. If you click on this, it will take you to a page where you can adjust the various sound settings for the Alchemic Phone App.
How do drums sound in space?
Most likely gravity believe it or not, the sound waves travel differently :)
Does the sun make sounds?
No im afraid not.That would be Heat energy because it is over 100,000oF. Up there so the wind would carry sound waves from another area to your current position.So basically it would be the wind
If you hit two metal bars together in space would it make a sound?
If it was you wearing a space suit and hitting the bars together, you could hear it, but not very loudly. If it was someone else hitting the bars together, then you couldn't hear it (if your and/or their radio was off). Sound is mechanical energy. The bars would generate mechanical energy if struck together, and that energy would be radiated through anything touching them. But space, because it is a vacuum, would not carry the sound. There would be no medium to transport it. The mechanical energy of sound, like that of a wave on water, is transferred into the medium in which it is to be carried. Sound is "put into" air so it can travel and we can hear it. Sound cannot be heard in space in the "normal" way we hear things here on earth.
