Does sound travel outside earth's atmosphere in space explain

1 answer:

8 0

On a large scale, no. Sound travels through space by the compression and relaxation of molecules. When you speak to someone on Earth, each inflection of voice compresses local molecules, and relaxes the molecules around the compressed ones. In space, however, the large lack of molecules means that the compression waves can’t be transmitted from the sound to the listener.

From the following list of words, choose the correct one to complete the statement: absorption, reflection, emission, transmissi

dangina [55]

Answer:

a) Emission

b) Reflection

c) Absorption

d) Transmission

Explanation:

a) The screen of computers (most of them LED or LCD) are a bunch of tiny lights that take power of our pc to produce light so they EMMIT light.

b) Sun's light contains all the visible colors of electromagnetic spectrum, when sun light hits an object, due their chemical characteristics the object absorbs a bunch of wavelengths and reflects others, the reflected light is the color we perceive with our eyes. So, for a banana, it absorbs almost all the other colors and reflects only yellow light.

c) As explained on b) a banana absorbs all the other colors except yellow so blue is absorbed on it.

d) When a light hits transparent medium, some rays are reflected and other passes through the medium so that rays are called transmitted and that is the case of Sunlight passing through a glass door.
