-> 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

Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?
We cannot hear the explosions from the sun as sound cannot travel through a vacuum, and the sound would have to travel through one to reach the Earth.
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 astronauts cannot hear each other in space?
Space is vacuum, and sound can't travel in vacuum.
Would astronauts be able to hear an explosion on the moon?
no, sound cannot travel to the vacuum of space
Can you hear the International Space Station pass overhead if all everything else around is still and quite?
Sound needs a volume to travel in. Space happens to be a vacuum, so said volume is not there. Sound cannot travel in space because of this. If sound cannot travel through space, it is not going to reach Earth. So, no.
What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?
i think voice cannot travel through vacuum.
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?
sound cannot travel through a vacum
Can sound travel through vacuum tube?
Sound cannot travel through vacuum, but unless there is sufficient insulation, sound might travel through the material the tube is made of.
Do sound waves travel in vacuum?
Soundwave cannot travel through a vacumm.
Longitudinal waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
True.
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is true about sound in a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, it needs a medium to travel through as its the vibration of particles that allows its energy to progress
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
It is told that sound cannot travel trough vacuum. Sound can only travel through medium.
What kind of wave cannot travel through a vacuum?
sound waves..
Where can sounds not travel?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.
