Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?
Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through
What is the one thing that cannot travel through a vacuum?
i think voice cannot travel through vacuum.
Can heat radiation travel through a vacuum?
Yes, think of the radiation from the Sun, it must travel through the vacuum of space to warm our own planet Earth.
Can sound waves travel through lasers?
Yes. The laser beam is a beam of coherent light. Just photons. Meanwhile the sound wave is travelling through a medium....which isn't really true of the photons, they'll travel whether there's a medium or not. There's essentially no interaction or interference between the two. Saying that I can think of ways you could detect sound waves using lasers...but I wouldn't worry about that - sound will travel just fine through a laser beam providing it still has a medium to travel through. i.e: a laser can be present in a strong vacuum but sound won't pass through a strong vacuum - at least not to any useful degree....but that's not the laser stopping it.
All waves need a medium to travel?
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
What object does light travel through more slowly a vacuum water or glass?
Light travels very slowly in glass compared to water and vacuum
Why sound needs median to travel?
I think you mean medium not median.Sound travels through vibrations. You need the particles in a solid, liquid or gas to be present to pass on those vibrations. One particle vibrating against another makes it vibrate. If you are in a vacuum (with no particles) sound will not travel.
How does sound waves travel through air?
Sound travels through air much in the same way as waves travel through water. Sound must have a medium to travel through and can't travel in a vacuum. The sound vibrates one air molecule which in turn vibrates the next molecule in line, and so on. This happens very fast at around 760 mph in air.
What do you think sound will travel faster through plastic or steel?
steel
Why does sound travel slower through sound waves?
I don't think it's easy to go through yourself. So it's like sound going through itself.
Does sound travel further through solids or liquids?
Both but i would think that it would go through solids more
Do you think you could hear your scream in space yes or no?
sound waves cannot travel through space
