Question

sound energy cannot travel through
A vacuum,a wooden table,polluted air,pond water

Answer 1

Sound energy cannot travel through a vacuum.

Explanation:

Waves are periodic disturbance of the space, which travel carrying energy but not matter.

There are two types of waves:

1. Mechanical waves: mechanical waves propagate through the vibrations of the particles in a medium. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.
2. Electromagnetic waves: these waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, perpendicular to each other. These waves do not need a medium to propagate, so they can also travel in a vacuum.

In this problem, we are analyzing sound energy, which is the energy carried by sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves, so they need a medium to propagate: therefore, they cannot travel through a vacuum, since there is no medium.

So, sound energy cannot travel through a vacuum.
