Why can't sound travel in vacuum

Open in App
Solution

Sound waves are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves needs medium to propogate. The disturbance created in the medium, transmitted from one particle to another particle in the medium.

Where as in the vacuum, no particles to transmit the disturbance from one point to another. therefore,
sound can't travel in the vacuum..

I hope it is clear to you.
