Question

James is planning a science fair project on sound waves. He places an alarm inside a jar which he can remove the

air from. Before he removes the air, he can hear the alarm ringing. After he removes the alr, he cannot hear the
alarm ringing. What condusion can you draw from this experiment?


A. Sound waves can travel in a vacuum
B. Sound waves are transverse waves and are loud
C. Sound waves cannot travel through a medium
D. Sound waves require a medium to travel through

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

this is simple, because when air is removed, means that there is no particles in the jar so vacuum is achieved, and when you can't hear a sound means that the sound couldn't travel through the vacuum. which means that sound cannot travel through vacuum,

as a result, sound requires a medium ( air) travel from one point to another.

hope it helps, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it
