A Vacuum cannot transmit sound.

A vacuum is by definition, void of any matter. Since sound is transmitted by passing vibrations in matter, without matter it can't carry any sound.

Is a mechanical wave capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum?

No, mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate and transmit energy. They cannot travel through a vacuum, which is why sound cannot be heard in outer space.


Does the water is not capable of transmitting sound?

Water is actually a good conductor of sound because sound waves travel well through water due to its high density compared to air. This is why sounds can travel much farther in water than in air. Think about how you can hear noises clearly when you swim underwater versus when you're above the water.


Which of the following sound not travel through?

Sound will not travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium which will allow vibrations.


What is a mic?

Mic is an abbreviation for the word microphone. It is also an acronym for military industrial complex.


Which one of the following environments will sound not travel through a solid b gas c vacuum d liquid?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) for the propagation of mechanical waves.


How does the speed of sound change in a vacuum?

sound can not be in a vacuum because a vacuum has no air. Sound needs a medium to travel though. :)


What does not make sound?

A vacuum does not make sound. Unlike a vacuum cleaner, which does!


Can sound travle to space?

Space is a vacuum. Sound cannot travel in vacuum


How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?

The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.


Can people here sound in space?

No. Sound is the vibration of air. Sound will not travel in a vacuum. Space is a vacuum


What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?

Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
