Oh, dude, in a vacuum, there's like no air particles to carry the sound waves, so they just can't travel. It's like trying to have a conversation at a loud rock concert - no one's gonna hear you over all that noise. So yeah, sound needs something to travel through, and in a vacuum, it's just empty space, man.
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.
How does sound travel when a student taps his pencil on the desk?
Sound is a form of energy that travels in waves known as compression waves or waves that are compacted by pressure. Sound can travel in many mediums such as solids, gas, and water. Most importantly is the presence of molecules in our atmosphere for sound cannot be heard in the vacuum of space. So, when you tap your pencil on your desk, you are creating a vibration that can be heard. The harder you tap, the louder the sound will be.
What must be present for sound to travel?
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 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.
Is water a good sound insulator?
A vacuum is a great sound insulator. Materials that absorb energy such as wool are good insulators as well. I heard of a silicone adhesive that transformed acoustic energies into heat - that was a good insulator if it was used to glue two sheets of something together.
Why cant you hear anything in a vacuum?
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air or water. In a vacuum, there is a lack of molecules for sound waves to transmit through, so there is no medium to carry the sound. As a result, sound cannot travel through a vacuum and therefore cannot be heard.
What did the bell in a vacuum tell scientists about sound?
THat sound requires matter to travel to be heard. Therefore a vacuum has no matter hence no sound can be heard
What sound cant travel through?
sound can't travel through a vacuum. or a place without air.
Can sound travel or heard in a vacuum?
Cannot be heard as sound being a mechanical wave badly needs a material medium
Did ultrasonic sound are heard in solar system?
No, because sound cannot travel in the vacuum.
How does sound behave in a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it relies on the vibration of molecules to propagate. In the absence of molecules in a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot be heard.
Is sound compression waves that can be heard?
yes i cant answer it
Why a sound of ringing bell inside vacuum chamber cannot be heard?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum chamber, there is no air or medium for the sound waves to travel through, so the ringing bell cannot be heard.
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
What is a vacuum and why can't you hear things in a vacuum?
A vacuum is a space completely devoid of matter, including air particles. Sound needs a medium, such as air, to travel through. Without particles to transmit the sound waves, sound cannot be heard in a vacuum.
What can you hear when a bell rings in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, no sound can be heard because sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through in order to be heard. Without a medium, there is nothing to carry the sound waves from the vibrating bell to our ear drums.
A region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel?
A vacuum is a region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transmit sound waves, so no sound can be heard.
