The process is mechanical, the same as sound in the human range, even though the individual molecules are kilometers apart. You are thinking correctly about the process, the problem seems to be convincing yourself of it! C. --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
Granted, it's not truly sound, it's pressure -- but in a rarified medium with one molecule per cubic km., what's the physical process that causes that one molecule to bump into the next one, a km. away? I can't imagine how else this pressure wave is passed. Thanks, Joe
