What else can I help you with?
Can there be sound without anyone to hear it?
Sound is a vibration (wave) transmitted through the atmosphere. It does not need to be perceived by an ear to exist. Without air--as in space--no one can hear you scream. That's catchy! Subsonic vibrations, such as an earthquake, can be felt by the body, but if you hear it, then the vibration is being transfered through the air.
If a meteorite crashed on the moon would you beable to hear it on earth?
no because sound does not exist in space
Do sound waves exist even if you can't hear them?
Yes, sound waves exist which are not audible to the human ear. Humans can hear sound waves having frequency between 20 - 20,000 Hz. Other all frequencies lie outside our hearing range and are called ultrasonic or supersonic waves.
Can sound waves travel in a vacuum.?
Sound cannot travel through a vacumNo. Sound waves can not travel in a vacuum. Sound works by having molecules of air knock against other molecules of air. Then those molecules knock against other molecules. The energy is transferred from one molecule to the next. These molecules we hear transferring energy from one to another we hear as sound. Where molecules can not transfer energy to another molecule, such as in a vacuum, sound can not exist.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it does it still make a sound?
Yes because sound waves exist even if people aren't in the area.
If there is an explosion some where but no one can hear it is there a sound?
In my opinon: Yes.For me sound is irrespective of listener.
Can light exist before sound?
Light can exist without sound. A fluorescent light is an example of this. But yes, light can exist before sound. Light and sound are created simultaneously by something like lightning. It's just that the light is propagated much faster than the sound. We all know that we see the flash of lightning before we hear the sound it makes, and we can "calculate" the distance to the bolt by simple mathematical means.
Can a chicken hear sound?
they can hear sound in ears
Does a sound have to be heard to be a sound?
Tough one. You're asking: Is the sound the vibrations in the material medium, or is the soundthe sensation in the brain of a person or animal ?I'm an engineer, and here's my personal opinion: To me, the sound is the vibration in the material medium,and it doesn't care whether or not there's anybody there to hear it.So when a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, yes, it still makes a sound anyway.And when a man speaks in the forest and there's no woman there to hear him, yes, he's still wrong anyway.
What is when hear some sound in the head?
If you hear sounds in your head that no one else can hear, it could be schizophrenia. Talk to your doctor about it.
Does someone or something have to hear a sound for that something to have made a sound Example if a tree falls when no one is present to hear it does it make a sound?
Yes, according to the scientific definition of sound, it is the vibration of particles that propagate as a mechanical wave. So, a sound is produced even if there is no one to hear it. Therefore, if a tree falls when no one is around, it does create sound waves, even if there is no observer.
What is sound perspective?
Sound perspective is the way you hear a sound. (Where you hear it coming from)
