Sound travels through air much in the same way as waves travel through water. Sound must have a medium to travel through and can't travel in a vacuum.

The sound vibrates one air molecule which in turn vibrates the next molecule in line, and so on. This happens very fast at around 760 mph in air.

Can sound waves travel through air?

Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.


Through what can sound waves travel?

Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solids.


Through what do sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids.


Where do sound waves travel through?

Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.


Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?

there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.


Can sound travel through a room with no air?

No, sound cannot travel through a room with no air because sound waves need a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Without a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through.


Through what medium do sound waves travel?

Sound waves travel through a medium such as air, water, or solid materials.


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.


How do flute sound waves travel through the air to create music?

Flute sound waves travel through the air when a player blows air into the flute, causing the air inside the flute to vibrate. These vibrations create sound waves that travel through the air and reach our ears, where we perceive them as music.


How do sound waves travel through air and what factors affect their propagation?

Sound waves travel through air by causing particles in the air to vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave. Factors that affect the propagation of sound waves include the medium through which the waves travel, temperature, humidity, and obstacles in the path of the waves.


Can sound waves travel through rocks?
