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.

Can sound energy pass through empty space?

No.


Can sound waves transmit energy through empty space?

No, sound waves cannot transmit energy through empty space because they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and transmit energy.


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.


Energy can be transferred through empty space by?

Energy can be transferred through empty space by radiation. Joule is the SI unit of energy.


What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter or empty space?

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through matter or empty space. Examples include sound waves traveling through air, light waves traveling through vacuum, and seismic waves moving through the Earth's crust.


Can mechanical waves transfer energy through empty space?

No, mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy. Without a medium to propagate through, mechanical waves cannot transfer energy through empty space. Electromagnetic waves, however, can transfer energy through empty space.


What is something that Carry's energy through empty space and through matter?

The answer will depend on who is Carry and what his energy is doing in 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.


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 cannot sound travel through space?

Because there are no enough molecules in empty space for sound to be propagated.


Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they need particles to transport what?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate because they rely on the vibration and interaction of particles in that medium to transmit energy. In empty space, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with, so they cannot travel.


What can move through empty space?

Light, radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, and neutrinos can move through empty space, as they do not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, is an example of energy that cannot travel through empty space as it needs a medium such as air, water, or solid to transmit.
