Question

Consider the following statements:

Statement 1: No sound can be heard on the surface of the Moon.
Statement 2: Temperature of the surface of the Moon is very high and hence sound waves cannot be produced.

Choose the correct options.

• A. same direction
• B. perpendicular direction
• C. either A or B
• D. neither A or B

Answer 1

The correct option is A

same direction

Sound waves require a medium to travel. On the Moon, there is no atmosphere. Thus, there is no medium to propagate the vibrations produced. Thus, Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is not correct.
