What else can I help you with?
What if there was sound in space, how loud would it be?
As loud as sound would be normally.
Do microphones work in the vacuum of space?
No, traditional microphones rely on air particles to transmit sound waves and would not work in the vacuum of space. In space, there is no medium for sound to travel through, so traditional microphones would not pick up any sound. Specialized equipment is needed to capture or transmit sound in the vacuum of space.
If you got hit by something in outer space would you hear the sound or would you be unable to hear the sound?
Sound waves are mechanical waves, meaning they need a medium to travel through (solid, liquid, or gas). Space being a vacuum, mechanical waves will not travel so sounds cannot be heard in space.
What is it that sound cannot travel through?
Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.
What would happen if you rang a bell in space?
In the vacuum of space, sound cannot travel because there are no molecules to carry the sound waves. So, if you were to ring a bell in space, you would not hear the sound it produces.
Does sound occupy space?
Sound does not occupy physical space like an object would. Sound is a vibration that travels through a medium, such as air or water, so it does not have a physical presence that takes up space.
How is hearing on Earth differ from hearing in space?
Depends on if you mean hearing in a space shuttle, or hearing out in real "space." Sound travels through air, so if you were out in real "space," sound waves would not travel since there is no air (or other medium for sound to travel in). If you were in a space shuttle, with air, and different objects, sound would be transmitted much in the same way that it is on Earth, and would be perceived much in the same way as well. This is why astronauts can speak freely with one another aboard space crafts.
If a cymbal were struck in space, how do you predict the waves of sound would travel?
Since space is a vacuum, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound waves need a substance to travel through, since there is nothing in a vacuum, sound waves have nothing to travel through. Thus, a cymbal struck in space would not make an audible sound.
Why would a phone not make a sound in space?
You can't hear sound in space
What happens when you yell in space?
In space, sound cannot travel because there is no medium for it to propagate through, like air. Therefore, if you were to yell in space, the vibrations created by your vocal cords would not be able to reach any other objects or people.
Why would it be futile to attempt to detect sounds from other planets even given the very best audio detectors?
Sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so there would be no sounds to detect coming from other planets. We rely on instruments like telescopes and spectrographs to study celestial bodies instead.
If a cymbal were struck in space how do you predict the sound waves would travel?
PLATO USERS! They would not travel, because here is no medium present.
