Why there is no sound year like light year?
The velocity of light in vacuum is a universal constant. A light year is the distance travelled at that velocity in one year. To define a sound year it would be necessary to also specify the precise characteristics of material it is being propagated through. A vacuum won't do, since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.
Does light wave travel through air at a faster speed than sound?
Yes! Sound has to have a medium such as air to travel. That's why there is no sound in space. So, if you stood on the surface of the earth and yelled very loudly straight up, the sound would stop after about 300 miles, because our atmosphere is only 300 miles thick. When the air runs out, the sound stops. BUT, if you shine a very bright light straight up, the light could go much, much further, because light CAN travel through the vacuum of space. That's how we can see stars that are trillions of miles away, because of the light they shine in our direction.
How many times faster than the speed of sound can you travel?
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.
Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?
The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.
For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?
It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.
Which wave would travel fastest in a vacuum light or sound?
Light would travel faster in a vacuum compared to sound. Light travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, while sound cannot travel in a vacuum as it requires a medium to propagate through, such as air, water, or solids.
What do sound and light have in common?
they both can be reflected sound would be reflected as an echo and light like when you flash a flash light at a mirror
How long would it take at the speed of sound to travel 1 light year?
It would take approximately 1 year to travel 1 light year at the speed of sound, which is around 767 mph (1,234 km/h). However, it is important to note that the speed of sound is much slower than the speed of light, which travels about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 km/s).
Can light waves carry sound?
No, light waves cannot carry sound. Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate, while light can travel through a vacuum. Light waves and sound waves are two different types of waves that behave differently.
Why there is no sound year like light year?
The velocity of light in vacuum is a universal constant. A light year is the distance travelled at that velocity in one year. To define a sound year it would be necessary to also specify the precise characteristics of material it is being propagated through. A vacuum won't do, since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.
What would sound travel LEAST efficiently in?
Sound would travel least efficiently in a vacuum because there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through. Sound waves rely on a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.
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.
Can there be sound with no atmosphere?
No, sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solid materials. In the absence of an atmosphere, like in space, sound cannot propagate because there are no molecules to carry the vibrations.
How is sound cannot travel in a wavy way?
Sound can't travel in wavy waves because if it did, the sound would be messed up and dodgy.
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.
Speak in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, sound cannot travel because there are no air molecules to transmit vibrations. This means that any form of communication that relies on sound, such as speaking, would not be possible in a vacuum. Additionally, in a vacuum, there is no medium for light to travel through, causing darkness.
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
