sound needs a medium to travel. material medium is necessary for propogation of sound. in vaccum sound do not travel. that's the reason why we are not able to hear sound in this case.

Why a sound of ringing bell inside vacuum chamber cannot be heard?

Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum chamber, there is no air or medium for the sound waves to travel through, so the ringing bell cannot be heard.


Experiment to demonstrate that sound need a material medium to propagate?

One way to demonstrate that sound needs a material medium to travel through is to conduct an experiment in a vacuum chamber. Place a ringing bell inside the vacuum chamber and then remove all the air from the chamber. The ringing of the bell will stop because there is no air (material medium) for the sound waves to travel through. This demonstrates that sound cannot propagate without a material medium.


What is an experiment to demonstrate that sound requires a medium to travel?

One experiment is to use a bell inside a vacuum chamber. When the chamber is evacuated of air, the sound of the bell will not be heard because there is no medium (air) for the sound waves to travel through. This demonstrates that sound requires a medium to propagate.


How can you create a partial vacuum at home?

You can create a partial vacuum at home by using a vacuum pump or by using a manual vacuum pump. Simply connect the pump to a sealed chamber or container, and then pump out the air to lower the pressure inside the chamber, creating a partial vacuum.


If there is 'nothing' in a vacuum chamber then why doesn't it collapse onto itself?

Assuming that outside the vacuum chamber there is some gas or liquid, then indeed there is a force that pushes on the walls to collapse. If it doesn't collapse, that means the walls are strong enough to withstand that force: weak walls would collapse.

Where is the vacuum line on a 96 s10 blazer the one in the fuel spider?

It doesn't have or need a line connected to it. The spider is inside the vacuum chamber.

What is the maximum vacuum pressure that can be achieved in this vacuum chamber?

The maximum vacuum pressure that can be achieved in this vacuum chamber is 10-6 torr.


What do you hear when an alarm clock rings in a vacuum?

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 maximum vacuum pressure that can be achieved in the vacuum chamber?

The maximum vacuum pressure that can be achieved in the vacuum chamber is typically around 10-6 torr.


How you can make vacuum chamber in earth space?

It's fairly simple. Build an air-tight container, and attach a vacuum pump to suck the air out. It's a fairly common thing to do, actually. For a more elaborate vacuum chamber, build a second fairly large airtight container and connect the two together with a valve between them. Attach a vacuum pump (or several of them) and "evacuate" the air from the large chamber. Then, when you open the valve between them, the air in the smaller chamber will immediately be sucked out and into the larger chamber, creating an "instant" vacuum.


Can sound wave pass through in vacuum?

No - sound wave cannot pass through "vacuum". It was Robert Boyle, English scientist who proved in 1960 that sound waves need to pass through a medium to transmit sound. This can be tested as follows: Place a bell inside a chamber and slowly start evacuating air from the chamber. It can be seen that sound of the bell is slowly becoming softer, until there is absolutely no sound.


How would you test if mechanical waves work in a vacuum or not?

To test if mechanical waves work in a vacuum, you can conduct an experiment by creating a vacuum chamber and placing a source of mechanical waves, such as a vibrating object, inside. Then, observe if the waves can propagate through the vacuum and be detected by a receiver on the other side of the chamber. If the waves can travel through the vacuum and be detected, it indicates that mechanical waves can indeed work in a vacuum.
