Nothing! Sound is wave and needs a medium to pass through in order to be heard !!!
Nothing, because sound cannot travel in a vacuum.

What is the energy conversion that takes place in an alarm clock when it rings?

In an alarm clock, electrical energy from the batteries or power source is converted into sound energy when the alarm rings. The electrical energy powers the mechanisms inside the clock to produce vibrations that create the sound waves we hear as the alarm.


If an alarm clock is in a jar filled with air what happens if all the air sucked out of the jar?

The alarm would be much quieter, as sound can't travel through vacuum. But if it's a mechanical alarm clock then vibrations would be transferred from the clock to the jar and then to whatever the clock is standing on , and you'd probably be able to hear some of that.


I you put an alarm in a vacuum jar you can't hear it why?

In a vacuum jar, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so the alarm cannot be heard. Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to propagate and reach our ears. Without a medium, there is no way for the sound to travel and be perceived.


Can you hear in a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so no one would be able to hear anything in a vacuum.


What can you hear when a bell rings in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, no sound can be heard because sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through in order to be heard. Without a medium, there is nothing to carry the sound waves from the vibrating bell to our ear drums.

Could you hear an alarm clock in space?

No,because in space there's no gravity and depending on how far you're from Earth you cannot hear any type of sounds. For example your alarm clock can ring and your neighbors are unable to hear it.People cannot hear an alarm clock from space not just people but other living things.

What does the clock radio do?

The clock radio was a very useful invention: most sources attribute it to James F. Reynolds, sometime in the mid-1940s. It was both a clock and a radio: it not only told the time, but it enabled the person to set an alarm to be woken up by their favorite radio station. Alarm clocks already existed, but they beeped or buzzed; now you could awaken to the news or hear your favorite songs.


iHome?

An iHome is a docking station for an iPod or an iPhone. It has a clock and speakers and you can insert your device into the station. This will allow your device to charge and serve as an alarm clock. The music for the alarm can be pre-set from your phone or iPod or you can use the iHome as a radio to hear the music on your device. It is a great item to have in your home that allows you to listen to the music stored on your iPod or iPhone.


Why does your brother set the alarm clock for 5 am but when it rings all he does is set it up for 630 am?

Maybe he has a hard time waking up, or sleeps hard. I set 3 alarms: one at 4 am, one at 4:15, and the last at 4:30. The last one is when I actually need to be up. Whatever works, right? Because he is lazy and inconsiderate. Set the alarm, hear the alarm, get your lazy behind out of bed! If he continues this behavior, set your alarm for 2 am, ensure that it wakes him up also, then hit snooze constanly until you need to get up. After a few days, he'll get the hint.

No.


Could you hear an acoustic guitar in space?

No "space" is mostly a vacuum. No sound is transmitted in a vacuum. You would not hear a starship exploding either!
