What else can I help you with?
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Why cant sound travel through outer space?
Sounds requires a medium to travel through. An example is air. You've also heard sound travel through water and solid objects like wood. In the past it was often thought that no medium exists in space. However, in current astronomy and astrophysics it is thought that dark matter is the medium by which sound can and does travel about space. Due to the atoms being so spread out though, the human ear would not be capable of detecting the sound waves.

How long is a jiffy in the measurement of time?
A jiffy is the time it takes for light to travle 1centominer or about 33.3 pictoseconds in time.
Why does sound not travel through space?
Sound does move through space. It doesn't move though empty space, i.e. a vaccuum. In outer space there is a vaccuum (though not necessarily a perfect vaccuum).Sound is caused by vibrations in a medium such as air (or water or wood). These vibrations compress and rarefy the medium. The vibrations move through the medium as waves.In a vaccuum, there is no medium thus there is no sound.
How does light travel from one point to another?
In straight lines (well, "geodesic" might be a better term), and at the speed of light in the medium they're in.
What do sound waves travle fastest though?
Air
Why cant sound waves go to outer space?
not as far because they have nothing to travle throough like on earth (air)
What does sound travle fastest through?
through solids
Can sound travle to space?
Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum
Is there sound in space and explain your answer?
Yes and No No because sound needs oxygen to travle Yes, because if you make sound, it will still be sound, just no one, not even you, can hear it.
Why can't sound waves travel though space?
sound waves cant travel through space because there is no oxygen, and if there is no oxygen there is nothing to carry the sound waves. youre welcom theSas
Does light waves or sound waves travle faster?
Light travels much, much faster than sound. Light travels at 299792458 m/s while sound only goes 340.29 m/s.
You cant get sound on when some one call no sound?
i need sound on skype
Why cant sound move through space but light can?
Sound can.
What was a wigwam?
wigwams are portable houses that the Iroquois used to travle places...and there are longhouses that are permanent .(so you can't travle with them)
Matter which a wave travle?
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
When a sound wave bends around a barrier so you can still hear the sound even though you cant see the source the wave has undergone what?
When a sound wave bends around a barrier so you can still hear the sound even though you can't see the source, it has undergone diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when the wave encounters an obstacle or aperture that causes it to change direction and spread out.
