Sound energy can travel through air, water, and solids like earth because these substances can transmit the vibrations created by sound waves. Sound waves move by compressing and rarefying the medium they are traveling through, which allows the energy to be carried from one point to another, including through the solid medium of the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
Why can sound only travel a certain distance on the earth?
Sound can only travel a certain distance on Earth due to factors like air temperature, pressure, and humidity, which affect the speed and intensity of sound waves. Additionally, obstacles such as buildings, mountains, and bodies of water can absorb or reflect sound waves, limiting how far they can travel.
Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?
False. While sound energy does travel in waves, other forms of energy, such as light and water waves, also travel in wave patterns.
Why cant you hear explosions on the sun?
Because sound needs a material medium to travel through, and there's no material between us and the sun. We can understand how important it is to have air or something for sound to travel through when we see videos of Apollo astronauts on the moon, where there's no air. They may be only a few feet apart, but still they can only communicate by radio. Without air, sound doesn't work at all.
Light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot Why is this?
Light can travel through the vacuum of space because it is an electromagnetic wave, whereas sound requires a medium (like air, water, or solid) to propagate as a mechanical wave. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate between distant stars and Earth.
Why you cannot hear the sound of explosion produce in the sun?
Sound waves cannot travel through space because space is a vacuum, meaning there is no medium (like air or water) for sound waves to travel through. Since the Sun is in space, the sound of an explosion produced by the Sun cannot be heard on Earth.

Is sound energy the only energy that uses waves to travel?
No, light travels in waves too.
We can only hear sound travel because there is a medium that produces a disturbance so our ears can detect it. Can the energy that produces sound travel through space without us hearing it?
No. The medium carries the energy. No medium = no sound + no energy + nothing heard.
Only sound energy travels in wavesTrue or false?
False. While sound energy does travel in waves, other forms of energy, such as light and water waves, also travel in wave patterns.
What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?
It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through space.

Does sound travel in air?
Yes, sound does travel through air, but to be more precise, sound can travel only through a physical medium (solids liquids and gases). Sound is actually a form of energy which can move from place to place only by vibrating particles. So this means that sound cannot be heard in vacume. Creating a vacume is a fool proof method of sound proofing a particular space.

A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This light travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth's atmosphere, where it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
What is another name for acoustical energy?
Acoustical energy is only the vibrations that make sound, so sound is another name.
