3. A class took a field trip to a music studio. The students watched through thick glass as the musicians played

music inside the studio. The students could only hear the music when the studio door was open. The less
separating the musicians from the students is made with two layers of thick glass. The space between the glass
Layers has had all the air removed, creating a vacuum.
Which statement best explains why the students were able to see the musicians even while they were unable to
hear them?

Answer:

Sound can't travel in a vaccum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound waves need a medium in order to travel (e.g. air, water, glass)

Since there was a vaccum between the glass the sound couldn't travel since vaccum's contain a very small amount of atoms.
