Describe an experiment which could demenstrate how well sound would travel in a vacuum.?

Question

Science test tomorrow and this is a revision question.. I have absolutely no idea..

Could anyone please help me?

pleases and thanksyous :)

Answer 1

sound requires medium to travel

Answer 2

it doesnt.......Spoken sound waves use air to travel along. As a vacuum does not contain any air particles, sound will not be heard.Sound is mechanical energy, and it requires a mechanical medium to propogate. That means that the medium must behave or respond in some mechanical way to conduct sound. Air or any liquid or solid will respond mechanically to the compression and rarefaction of a sound wave. In a vacuum, there is nothing to be compressed, so no sound will be conducted. At all.

have look at this i dont know how to explain it propley lol http://www.school-for-champions.com/scie...

Answer 3

Bell Jar experiment is the best for this demonstration

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_jar

the sound cant travel through vacuum

so u wont hear a thing after vacuum is created in the Jar

Answer 4

open the science text book of standard 10th ssc and check the chapter sound ..........on the left hand page of that chapter ull find ur answer in a detailed way......in the form of a simple experiment ....................... sound requires medium to travel

it does not travel in vacuum

Answer 5

I think, sound will travel to vacuum smoothly. With some echos.

Maybe, you can just use vaccum cleaners.

Hope i helped. :)

Answer 6

ok, row a boat down the street

its the same thing.

Answer 7

take a jar

put an electric bell in it n plug it

using a vaccum pump remove the air in it

thn press da switch for da bell u wont hear da ring

slowly pump in air n u will hear it

all da best dude for ur science test.....
