Why is hollow hair a good insulator?

Hollow hair is a good insulator because the air trapped inside the hollow shafts creates a barrier that helps to prevent the transfer of heat. This trapped air acts as a buffer, reducing heat loss from the body and helping to maintain a constant body temperature in cold environments.


How does Sound travel through something hollow?

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.
