-> Suspend an electric bell in an airtight bell jar attached to a vacuum pump.

-> Turn on the electric bell.

-> Pump out all the air in the bell jar using the vacuum pump.

-> The sound of the bell should get fainter as air is pumped out.

-> Finally no sound can be heard even though the hammer can be seen hitting the bell

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.


Why astronauts cannot hear each other in space?

Space is vacuum, and sound can't travel in vacuum.


Can heat energy travel through space a vacuum by convection?

Actually heat cannot travel through vacuum. sun emits radiations (obviously electromagnetic radiations.) which needs no medium to travel. hence these radiations travel through space and reaches earth where it interacts with atmosphere. when these radiations fall on media like air, water land etc. the radiation is converted into heat energy. Thus it is clear that heat from sun is converted into radiations which travel through space and reaches earth where it is converted to light.


Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?

We can't hear nuclear explosions from the sun because sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Sound waves require a medium, like air or water, to propagate, but space is mostly empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, mainly light and heat, rather than sound waves.


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.

What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?

i think voice cannot travel through vacuum.


Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?

No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.


Can ultra sonic travel through vacuum?

No, ultrasound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate.


How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.


Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.


Is vacuum the sound that travels best?

No: worst. Sound cannot travel though a vacuum.


What Sound cannot travel through a?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to transmit vibrations. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, so the sound cannot propagate.


Can a microwaves travel through a vacuum?

No, microwaves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium to propagate, like air or glass. A vacuum has no particles for the microwaves to interact with and therefore cannot transmit them.


Do sound waves travel in vacuum?

Soundwave cannot travel through a vacumm.


How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?

You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.


Does sound pass through vacuum?

No, sound cannot pass through a vacuum because sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to travel through. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so they cannot travel.


Which of the following sound not travel through?

Sound will not travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium which will allow vibrations.
