A region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel?

A vacuum is a region empty of matter through which sound cannot travel. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transmit sound waves, so no sound can be heard.


Does sound need matter to travel?

Yes. Sound is produced by vibrating matter, such as a string or arts of the inner ear, so it cannot travel if there is no matter to vibrate.


How an electromagnetic wave can travel throught space that contains no matter?

The wave is a disturbance in the electric and magnetic field in space. These fields exist even in empty space.

What can't sound travel through and why?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.


What medium sound waves travel through?

Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.


Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?

Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel as it relies on the vibration of particles within the medium to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to interact with and transmit energy, which is why sound cannot travel through it.


Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?

No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.


Why sound cannot travel in a vacium?

Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, which can pass through a vacuum, but a vibration wave which requires matter to vibrate. A vacuum has no matter to vibrate, therefor sound cannot pass through it.


Does heat travel in a vacuum?

Lets look at a vacuum and heat. Heat is the treansfer of energy from one piece of matter to another. A vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat cannot transfer in a vacuum because there must be matter in close proximity to other matter for heat to travel.


Can sound waves move through any kinds of matter?

Yes. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
