Sound cannot be propagated through____________________


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Sound needs a material medium for its propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid, and gases carry sound waves from one point to another.
  2. Sound cannot progress through a vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

Hence, sound cannot be propagated through a vacuum.
