For sound to travel, three main components are required: a source of vibration, a medium through which the sound waves can travel (such as air, water, or a solid material), and a receiver to detect the sound waves (such as a human ear or a microphone). When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel through the medium as a series of compressions and rarefactions, which are then detected by the receiver as sound.
What else can I help you with?
Sound waves cannot travel on the?
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
Why can light travel through space but sound cannot?
sound is produced by vibration, i.e. when any thing start vibration then it produces sound. for example when a tunnig fork is hit on rubber pad its prongs starts vibration with difinit frequency ad hence produce sound. similarly when the strings of a gittar is dirturbed its starts vibration and hence produces sound. sound required a material medium for their journey, sound can not pass through vaccume because sound waves are mechanical waves.
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.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?
Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.
A sound must have what to travel?
There must be particles present for sound waves to travel. Sound travels by vibration, when one particle hits another. This is why there is no sound in a vacuum as no particles are present. Therefore, sound travels better within a space with a higher concentration of particles. For example, sound travels faster through a solid as opposed to a liquid or gas.
What must sound have in order to travel?
An atmosphere. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?
No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
Why can sound not travel through a vacumm?
Because sound must have a physical medium through which to travel, like air or water water.
Can sounds travel in a vacuum?
No, sound requires a medium to travel.No it must travel through matter
What documentation must an oxygen therapy patient present to travel personnel?
In addition, a copy of the patient's oxygen prescription must be shown to travel personnel.
What two things must be present for there to be a sound?
Vibration and a medium like air
How does air tempurature affect the speed of sound?
Sound waves travel through particle vibration, and when the temperature is high, the particles vibrate faster, thus the sound must travel faster with particles.
Can you hear someone yelling in space?
Sound needs to travel through something, or you can't hear. Sonce there is nothing in space, sound can't travel.
In order for a sound wave to travel it must have?
In order for a sound wave to travel, it must have a medium to propagate through. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium such as air, water, or solids to carry the vibrations. The medium allows the sound wave to transfer its energy from one point to another by compressing and rarefying the particles in the medium.
Can sound waves travel without a meduim?
No, sound waves require a medium to travel through. The medium could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but they cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the vibrations that carry the sound.
