What else can I help you with?
Why can a supernova be seen in outerspace but not heard?
Because empty space cannot propagate sound.
How The universe is mostly made up of what a. Gases c. Dust b. Empty Space d. Stars?
D: Empty space.
What is the empty space where gas molecules are not located?
The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.
Can you hear sounds from a black hole?
There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.There is lots of energy involved near some black holes, but sound doesn't travel through empty space.
Can you here in outer space?
No. Sound is distributed by the collision of molecules/atoms transferring energy to each other. Space or vacuum, by definition is completely empty, with no molecules to facilitate this transfer, and hence sound cannot propogate through space. The movie 'Alien' famously had the line 'In space, no one can hear you scream' or something along those linesThis answer is perfectly correct, but to those who do not (the very few) understand this text, this answer is, literally: In space or vaccum, sound does not travel because sound is transferred through cells, molecules/atoms, as you say, and there is nothing there, no cells or atoms or molecules, therefore the sound cannot be passed on. -.- that was absolutely pointless, but I'm currently, very, very bored.Sound does not travel through a vacuum.Sound requires a medium to travel thru. Since there is nothing in a vacuum, there are no particles to transmit the sound.
Where can light travel but no sound?
Empty space.Empty space.Empty space.Empty space.
Why cant sound trave through empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
Why cannot sound travel through space?
Because there are no enough molecules in empty space for sound to be propagated.
Can sound energy pass through empty space?
No.
Why can sound waves not travel through empty spuce?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate because they are mechanical waves that travel by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. In the vacuum of empty space, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with, so they cannot travel.
Which do not travel through empty space?
Sound waves do not travel through empty space because they require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Similarly, mechanical waves like seismic waves also need a medium to travel and cannot propagate through empty space.
Why can't sound travel through an empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid substance, to travel through. In an empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
How do you hear yourself in space without a space suit?
Sound cannot travel in empty space. But, sound may be able to travel through your body.
What is produced when sound is made in an empty space?
Pressure waves in --- whatever the medium is --- air. In a vacuum (real empty space), there is no sound. (See the old gag line for the original Alien movie (in space they can't hear you scream).)
What waves can't travel through empty space?
Sound waves.
Can sound energy pass through an empty space?
Never. Sound propagates as longitudinal waves which are a kind of mechanical waves. These waves require a medium for them to pass. The medium can be either solid, liquid or gaseous. Thus, in empty space i.e. vacuum, sound can never pass.
Why do you hear all the sounds produced in the universe?
You don't. For a start, sound doesn't travel through empty space, so a sound produced on our Sun, for example, can't be heard here on Earth.You don't.
