Question

Sound travels in waves. Sound waves cannot travel through?

A) Air
B) Solids
C) Space
D) Water

Answer 1

The answer is c. Space isn’t uniform nothingness. It’s full of stuff. In between the stars, there are clouds of gas and dust. These clouds are sometimes the remains of old stars that went out in a blaze of explosive glory, and they’re the regions where new stars form. And some of that interstellar gas is dense enough to carry sound waves, just not sound perceptible to humans.

Answer 2

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

A sound is usually defined as a wave that is characterized by the presence of a certain wavelength, amplitude, speed, time-period and frequency.

It can travel in all the medium such as solid (in the oceanfloor), liquid (water) and gas (air). The velocity of the sound differs from medium to medium.

Sounds cannot travel through a vaccum and a close approximation of vaccum is space. It is because there is no solid, liquid or gas in space, through which sound could travel.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
