Because otherwise we wouldn't hear the sound if we were above or below the source of the sound. Only if we were at the exactsame height.

It heads out in every direction possible.

Because we live in a 3 spacial dimensional universe, it would be a circle in a 2D universe.

What angle does sound travel from the point of creation of the sound?

Sound travels in all directions from the point of its creation, spreading out in a spherical pattern. It does not travel in a single angle but rather in a 360-degree pattern.


How are sound waves longitudinal?

Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel


Why do sound waves travel in spheres rather than in circles much like a ripple in a pond?

Because they are unconstrained. That is, the ripples on the water surface are constrained to be on the surface of the water by their very nature: that is, a ripple is by definition a disturbance on the surface of the water. Since the surface of the water is flat, then the ripples cannot be spherical and they must instead assume the 2D intersection of the sphere which is commonly known as a "circle. " In fact, "sound" waves can travel through water and these are distinct from ripples. Like their airborne counterparts, subsurface sound waves also propagate spherically -- they travel in 3 dimensions because they can and they are not constrained by anything to propagate in merely 2 D.


What is needed for sound to travel?

Sound requires a medium to travel


Why cant sound travel on the moon?

Sound can travel on the moon because there is no atmosphere. Space is a vacuum that does not allow sound to travel.


What do Sound wave not travel?

Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.


Where does sound not propagate?

sound needs a material medium to travel. Sound can travel by compression and rarefactions.attma


Does sound travel?

Yes, sound is a wave and it travels when there is a medium for it to travel through.


What must sound have in order to travel?

An atmosphere. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.


What can sound waves not travel in?

sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)


What a 4 different things that sound can travel though?

Sound can travel through:airwaterrocksoil


How do sound waves travel to a satellite?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
