Solution

  1. The velocity of electromagnetic waves like light waves or radio waves are very high than the velocity of sound in any medium i.e. 3 x108 m s-1.
  2. Radio waves do not require any medium to propagate and thus, astronauts can communicate on the surface of the moon in the absence of any atmosphere.
