What transmits a sound through solid?

Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.


What type of waves can be transmitted in a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can be transmitted in a vacuum because they do not require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate through the vacuum of space and can travel long distances without the need for a medium.


Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?

no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.


What can't sound travel through and why?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.


Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?

No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through 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.


Which type of wave can be transmitted through the vacuum of space is what type of wave?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can be transmitted through the vacuum of space as they do not require a medium to propagate.


Can wave energy only be transmiitted through a material medium?

No, wave energy can also be transmitted through a vacuum, as seen with electromagnetic waves like light. These waves do not require a material medium for propagation, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves.


Can light be transferred across empty space?

Yes. Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through a vacuum, they need no medium in order to be transmitted. Unlike sound waves, which are compression waves what rely on matter in order to be transmitted.


What could conclude that sound is transmitted fastest in a. solids b. liquids c. gases d. a vacuum?

Sound is transmitted fastest in solids because the particles are closely packed, allowing for faster vibration and transmission of sound waves. Liquids come next, followed by gases, and sound cannot be transmitted through a vacuum as there are no particles to carry the sound waves.


What wave can not propagate in vacuum?

Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum because they require a medium to travel through such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, so without a medium to carry the vibrations, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.


Longitudinal waves cannot travel through a vacuum?

True.
