Question

While watching a recent science fiction movie, one Klingon spaceship blows up a Droid spaceship with a laser gun. The Klingon crew watches out the port window and covers their ears to muffle the noise from the explosion. Scientifically, this scene is inaccurate because

A) light can not reflect off objects in the vacuum of space.
B) they would not be able to see anything outside the window.
C) lasers can not be transmitted through the vacuum of space.
D) the sound of the explosion would not be transmitted back to their ship.

Answer 1

D. the sound of the explosion would not be transmitted back to their ship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical wave so it needs a solid to move through. Since space is a vacuum, the Klingon crew would not be able to hear the explosion.

Answer 2

Scientifically this scene is inaccurate because the sound of the explosion would not be transmitted back to their ship. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "D". As sound cannot travel through a vacuum, so it is not possible for the crew to hear the sound of explosion.
