  1. Why do sound waves need a medium for their propagation?

    Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves. Experiment: Now think how the sound ...

  2. Sound

    Robert Boyle's classic experiment. The first person to discover that sound needs a medium was a brilliant Irish scientist known as Robert Boyle (1627-1691). He carried out a classic experiment that you've probably done yourself in school: he set an alarm clock ringing, placed it inside a large glass jar, and while the clock was still ringing, sucked all the air out with a pump.

    This short animated science video in English is meant for upper primary class children (age 11-13 years). This video explains how sound travels - i.e. requir...

  4. Sound Waves

    The experiment shows that sound can travel through gases (air), through a solid (glass), but it cannot travel through a vacuum. ... it needs a medium to travel through; the speed of sound in air ...

  5. Sound Needs A Medium To Travel

    The fact that sound cannot travel through empty space was first demonstrated in the 1600s by a scientist named Robert Boyle. Boyle placed a ticking clock in a sealed glass jar. The clock could be heard ticking through the air and glass of the jar. Then Boyle pumped the air out of the jar. The clock was still ticking, but the ticking sound could ...

  6. Traveling Sound

    Learning Objectives. After this activity, students should be able to: Explain that sound can move through solids, liquids and gases. Describe how sound needs molecules to move and that changing the medium that it travels through changes the sound. Describe how engineers use sound energy when designing spaces, such as movie theaters.

  7. Physics Tutorial: Sound as a Mechanical Wave

    Pitch and Frequency. A sound wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along or through a medium by particle-to-particle interaction. As a mechanical wave, sound requires a medium in order to move from its source to a distant location. Sound cannot travel through a region of space that is void of matter (i.e., a vacuum).

  8. How Does Sound Travel From One Medium To Another?

    The reason behind this is very simple: you see, when sound originates from a point, travels through a medium, and then encounters a solid object, it loses some of its energy. In other words, a change in the medium triggers a reduction in the energy being carried by the sound wave. That's essentially why sounds lose their 'loudness' when ...

    Teacher Notes. Pupils can experiment with making sounds using just their own bodies and voices. Because sound needs a medium to travel through, they can discuss the media with which they are ...

  10. Sound waves

    From 2014, students should learn about: • frequencies of sound waves, measured in hertz (Hz); echoes, reflection and absorption of sound. • sound needs a medium to travel in. • the speed of sound in air, in water, in solids. • sound produced by vibrations of objects, in loudspeakers, detected by their effects on microphone diaphragm and ...

  11. Sound Really Can Travel in a Vacuum, And We Can Finally Explain How

    August 16, 2023. Given the right circumstances, it is possible for sound to travel through a perfect vacuum. Now two physicists have worked out what those conditions need to be. Zhuoran Geng and Ilari Maasilta of the University of Jyväskylä in Finland say their findings represent the first rigorous proof of complete acoustic tunneling in a ...

    In this experiment, you will observe the propagation of sound in solids. You will strike one end of a table or a metal/wooden strip and ask your friend to listen to the sound produced while keeping their ear touching the table or the other end of the strip. Then, they will listen to the sound by lifting their head slightly away from the table ...

  16. Sound Needs a Medium to Travel

    A sound wave needs a medium to travel A sound wave travels in the form of a longitudinal wave and it requires a material medium for its propagation. Sound always originates from some vibrating body. These vibrations are produced by tuning forks, drums, bells, the strings of a guitar, etc. Human voice originates from the vibrations of the vocal ...

  17. Wave properties (video)

    AboutAbout this video. Transcript. Waves are disturbances that travel, transferring energy without moving matter. They have key characteristics like period, wavelength, and frequency. The speed of a wave can be affected by its type and the medium it travels through. There are two main types of waves: mechanical, which need a medium to travel ...

  18. Sound Waves Need A Medium For Their Propagation: Explanation and Experiment

    Sound always needs a material medium for its propagation. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound travels in all mediums- solids, liquids, and gases. The speed of sound is fastest in solids. In liquids, the speed of sound is greater than in gases but lesser than in solids. The speed of sound is least in gases.

  20. 13.1 Types of Waves

    Light, sound, and waves in the ocean are common examples of waves. Sound and water waves are mechanical waves; meaning, they require a medium to travel through. The medium may be a solid, a liquid, or a gas, and the speed of the wave depends on the material properties of the medium through which it is traveling. However, light is not a ...

  21. Sound Needs a Medium for Propagation

    The current is the same but still, you can't able to hear the sound. This means that still the sound is being produced but now we cannot hear it. This is because sound waves always need a medium to propagate. In the bell jar, it was, hence sound waves cannot travel. Hence, the experiments prove to us that sounds need a medium to propagate.

    Place the jar over a disc that has a pipe connected to a vacuum pump. When we turn on the switch, we hear the sound of the bell. Now, with the help of a vacuum pump, we pump out the air from the jar. The sound becomes fainter. When most of the air has been removed, we hear a very feeble sound. When there is air inside the jar, sound travels ...
