Question

Sound waves do not travel in:

  1. Solids
  2. Liquids
  3. Gases
  4. Vacuum

Answer:

Option D: Vacuum

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Vacuum”.

Sound waves are unable to propagate through the vacuums.

Sound waves are mechanical waves, meaning they require a medium (like a solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. In a vacuum, there are no particles to vibrate, so sound cannot propagate.
