Sound is basically the vibration of atoms or molecules of a solid, liquid, or gas that propgate throughout the medium. Sound MUST have a medium to travel through; if there were no medium there to vibrate in, it would have no frequency and therefore would not be able to be heard. Since a vacuum is a space devoid of all matter, there would be no medium for the sound waves to propgate in, so therefore, no sound.

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 Happens To Sound In Vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vaccum due to the fact that sound travels using vibrations and there is nothing to vibrate in a vaccum. for example on earth there is air for sound to travel through but in a vaccum there is no air. And in all those battle scenes in star wars where you hear lasers firing through space and spaceships flying past you shouldn't be able to hear them :)


Sound waves do not travel through what?

Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum. They require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and thus cannot travel.


Can sound travel through a gas like air?

Of course. It does all the time. It can travel through anything with molecules. Probably not a vaccum though.


Does sound travel in vaccum?

No, sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot be transmitted.


What are some interesting facts about sound energy?

sound energy require some kind of material to travel through and they cant move through a vaccum


Does sound travel faster through water than air?

yeah sound travels fastest through solids , than that through liquids and slowest in air and does not travel through Vaccum


Do sound can hear in vaccum?

If the question is does sound travel in a vacuum. I believe the answer is no.


Where does sound not propagate?

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