Hello, sound is a mechanical wave. This means that it badly needs a material medium to pass through as longitudinal waves. So empty space will not allow sound to get propagated.

Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?

Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through 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.


Where can light travel but no sound?

Empty space.Empty space.Empty space.Empty space.


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.


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.


What does does sound travel through the fastest?

Space. Not the galaxy type of space, though.


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.


Why cannot sound travel through space?

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


Why does light travel fastest through empty space?

because there is nothing in space to block the light and no barometric pressure


What waves can't travel through empty space?

Sound waves.


What are not able to travel through empty space ultraviolet waves or sound waves?

Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they require air particles to transfer them. UV is a light wavelength and can travel through space (just like light from the Sun reaches the planets).
