What else can I help you with?
Can the sound of a wave travel through space?
Yes, sound travels through space when the space is filled with some medium such as air (or water or iron or cetera). Sound is vibrations in the medium which travel as a wave. If there is nothing in the medium, no sound travels through it. Outerspace is pretty empty. You won't hear anything if you're in outerspace (except sounds from inside your space suit/ship). P.S. Do you mean the sound of a wave (like splashing on rocks) or a sound wave?
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
What of these waves can NOT travel through the vacuum of space?
Sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space because they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through the vacuum of space because they do not require a medium.
Why is it that light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot?
Light can travel through the vacuum of space because it is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, like air, water, or solids, to travel through. Since space is a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through from a distant star to Earth.
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium to travel through, allowing them to propagate through the vacuum of space. In contrast, sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy and vibrations. Space is a vacuum, lacking the necessary medium, which is why sound waves cannot travel through it.
Why can't a sound wave travel from a satellite to earth?
A sound wave cannot travel through space because there is no air in space. Without a medium such as air, you can't hear sounds
Can the sound of a wave travel through space?

Do you mean the sound of a wave (like splashing on rocks) or a sound wave?
Why a sound wave can't travel from a satellite to earth?
A sound wave can not travel from a satellite to earth because there is not an atmosphere in space. The sound wave has no way off traveling through the air because there isn't any air.
What is it that sound cannot travel through?
Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
What do Sound wave not travel?
Sound wave do not travel through vaccum as it need medium to travel.
What of these waves can NOT travel through the vacuum of space?
Sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space because they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through the vacuum of space because they do not require a medium.
Does molecules need to be present for sound to travel?
Sound is a wave and it needs a medium to travel through. Waves in the ocean use water as a medium. Without water, you can't have a wave. In the case of sound you need a medium, whether its solid, liquid or gas, for the sound to travel through. Hence the line, "in space, no one can year you scream." Space is a vacuum (i.e. no "molecules") so sound cannot travel.
Why is it that light can travel to Earth from a distant star but sound cannot?
Light can travel through the vacuum of space because it is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, like air, water, or solids, to travel through. Since space is a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through from a distant star to Earth.
Can sound wave travel through space or matter?
Type your answer here... yes because of the vibration
Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?
No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium to travel through, allowing them to propagate through the vacuum of space. In contrast, sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy and vibrations. Space is a vacuum, lacking the necessary medium, which is why sound waves cannot travel through it.
