If it doesn't hit something that absorbs it, or come to the end of the physical medium,

a sound wave never stops. It just keeps going and going. But it spreads out as it goes,

which means that any particular detector with a fixed size, such as an ear, receives less

energy from a sound wave that originates farther away. So the real question is: What's

the smallest intensity that your sound detector can detect ?

Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?

Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.

How far can a 3kHz travel?

A 3kHz sound wave can travel a considerable distance, potentially several kilometers in air and even further in water. The distance it can travel depends on factors such as the medium it is traveling through, environmental conditions, and the strength of the sound source.


How far can sound travel before it dies out?

Sound can travel long distances, but it eventually dies out due to factors like air resistance and absorption. In general, sound can travel up to several miles before becoming too faint to hear.


How far the sound of a bell travels?

The sound of a bell can travel several miles, depending on the size of the bell and environmental conditions. In open areas with minimal obstructions, the sound can travel further than in urban or dense environments. However, factors such as wind, temperature, and terrain can also affect how far the sound travels.
