Question
Sound cannot travel in space because sound cannot travel through _______.
- Earth
- Moon
- Star
- Vacuum
Hint:
Sound is a mechanical wave.
The correct answer is: Vacuum
- Sound waves are mechanical waves.
- They need a material medium for propagation.
- Like- solids, liquids and gases.
- Therefore, sounds cannot travel through vacuum because of the absence of particle matter.
- So, the correct option is d.
