What is propagation of sound?
Propagation means "movement through" something in this context. You can study the propagation of sound through air, for example, the most common kind of sound there is for people. Sound propagates through water as well, as you can easily prove by taking a dip in the pool. Does sound propagate through a vacuum? Does it propagate through other materials? These are testable questions.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves similar?
they both have wavelenghth and have energy
What would happen if you beat a drum on a planet where there is no air?
There would be no sound. Sound requires a medium, like air, or water or anything with mass to propagate the wave that causes the vibration in the ear that produces the effect of sound in the brain. If you put your ear or more likely, the helmet of your spacesuit against the drum, the physical contact would transfer the vibration to the air in you helmet and then to your ear, enabling you to hear the sound.
What 2 types of energy does the sound of a bass drum come?
The sound of a bass drum primarily comes from kinetic energy and acoustic energy. Kinetic energy is generated when the drumstick strikes the drumhead, causing it to vibrate. This vibration then converts into acoustic energy, which is the sound waves that propagate through the air. Together, these energy types create the characteristic thump of a bass drum.
What conducts radio waves through space?
Radio waves are not conducted. They propagate. They do not need a medium through which to propagate. They just move.
What wave can not propagate in vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum because they require a medium to travel through such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, so without a medium to carry the vibrations, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.
Can sound travel through a vacuum, and if so, how does it propagate in the absence of a medium?
No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
Why is sound not able to travel in a vacuum?
Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.
Is Sound is able to travel in a vacuum?
Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.
Do sound waves propagate in water or not?
Yes, sound waves can propagate in water. In fact, sound travels faster and farther in water compared to in air due to water's higher density and stiffness. This makes water an efficient medium for sound transmission.
Can sound be propagated in vacuum give reason?
No. Sound requires a medium to propagate through
What does sound wave move best through?
The denser a material is, the faster sound waves will propagate through it. Sound wave will generally propagate more easily through solids as they are denser than liquids or gases.
Sound waves do not trevals in which?
Sound waves do not travel in a vacuum because they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to compress and rarefy, so they cannot propagate.
What is the difference between sound and visiblle light in transmission?
Sound will propagate through any matter, but not a vacuum, light will propagate through a vacuum, but only through transparent matter.
Can sound travel trough a vacuum?
No, because there is no substance to propagate.
How are sound produced and propagate?
Sound is produced when an object vibrates, creating changes in air pressure. These pressure variations travel through the air as waves, which we perceive as sound. The waves propagate through the air until they reach our ears, where they are detected and processed by the brain as sound.
Can you stop sound in mid air?
Sound propagate in the form of waves. Waves have energy so they propagate through the medium. Unless you can reflect it back , or damp the sound wave using some or the other way, it is virtually impossible to "stop" a sound in mid air
