Hollow does not mean empty.

Hollow means there is a container.

Sound will travel in whatever carries it. (all materials consisting of more than two strongbonded captive atoms are not a vacuum, and will carry sound.)

The container, filled with hollowness (you might get near vacuum. grin.), will carry sound from one end to the other because the container has more than two bonded atoms..

Does a hollow have sides?

Yes.

An inside and an outside.

I actually wonder, is there a vacuum inside a single atom?

Jaak.

Air.


Why do astronauts use radio waves instead of sound waves to communicate in space?

sound needs something to travel through and space has no air for it to travel


Why can you not hear in a vacuum?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.


Why sound canot travel in space?

In order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it t travel through. On Earth, sound travels by vibrating air molecules, there are no molecules in space, nothing to vibrate


What kind of sound waves do vacuums produce?

The vacuum does not produce sound waves nor, can sound waves travel through them. A sound wave needs something to travel on/through, such as air. A vacuum doesn't contain any particles required for sound waves.


Why cant you hear one one another in space in space?

Sound needs something to travel through. That's usually air on Earth. Space is a vacuum - therefore, sound cannot travel through it.


Can you hear someone yelling in space?

How does a violin work to produce sound?

A violin produces sound when its strings are bowed or plucked, causing them to vibrate. These vibrations travel through the bridge and soundpost, amplifying the sound in the hollow body of the violin. The sound waves then escape through the f-holes, creating the beautiful music we hear.


Why does a ream of paper or a book sound hollow when tapped?

A ream of paper or a book sounds hollow when tapped because the sound waves created by the tap travel through the material and bounce off the air pockets inside. This creates a reverberation effect, giving the impression of hollowness.


How does the violin work to produce its unique sound?

The violin produces sound when the bow is drawn across the strings, causing them to vibrate. These vibrations create sound waves that travel through the air and are amplified by the hollow body of the violin, producing its unique sound.


A something contains no particle so no sound can travel through?

A perfect vacuum would contain no particles, so no sound can travel through it since sound requires a medium such as air, water, or a solid to propagate. Vacuum is an ideal situation, but in practice, it is difficult to achieve a perfect vacuum.


Why don't we hear the sound explode on the sun?

Sound waves require something to travel through like air or water. The waves travel through this substance and into your ear, vibrating the eardrum. In the vacuum of space, there simply isn't enough of anything for the sound waves to travel through.
