I imagine that air is a substract that enables the sound to travel and be heard. Sound is constituted of a wide range of wave lenghts whose audible range is about 20 to 20000 hz/s. This is my personal understanding about this subject. If you want more accurate informations please consult Wikipedia and write "sound" in the searching combo.

Can sound travel through a room with no air?

No, sound cannot travel through a room with no air because sound waves need a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Without a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through.


How do sound waves travel what do sound waves need in order to travel?

Sound waves travel by causing particles in a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to vibrate back and forth. They require a medium to travel through, as they cannot travel in a vacuum. When a sound source, such as a speaker or a voice, vibrates, it creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium, which propagate as sound waves.


Do you need air to have sound?

It doesn't have to be air, but some medium for the wave to travel through, since it is mechanical.


Do you need air for sound to travel?

Sounds are pressure waves - and they need something (medium) to compress and rarefy. Air is one medium, but water, steel, rock and most other substances can have sound waves.In vacuum there is nothing, no medium, so no sound can travel.


What does sound need to travel through?

Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.


Sound waves do not travel through what?

Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum. They require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and thus cannot travel.


What can sound not travel to?

Sound cannot travel through vacuum, as it requires a medium such as air, water, or solid materials to propagate. Sound waves need molecules to transmit the vibration, so in the absence of a medium, such as in space, sound cannot travel.


Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?

Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.


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.


Can sound waves travel through air?

Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.


Why does the sound not travel through vacuum?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to travel because they propagate through the vibration of molecules in that medium. In a vacuum, there are no molecules for the sound waves to interact with, so they cannot travel through it.


Do air particles travel with sound sound waves?

since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.
