  1. As there is only one hydrogen molecule per cubic meter roughly, there is no way the sound can be transfered in a vacuum.


  2. Sound can not pass total vacuum.

  3. No.

    Sound is a compression wave that travels through a physical medium.  Sound cannot pass through a vacuum.

  4. No

    Sound is a longitudinal wave. It requires medium to travel through. Light or Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. They do not require any medium.

  5. No. Sound waves travel through the compression/expansion of air or some other medium. No medium, no sound.

    "In space, no one can hear you scream."

  6. No, it can't.

    Sound is a wave in a material like air or water or wood. where no material is there, no wave could pass and no sound would be there.
