Question

Statement 1: Sound needs a medium for its propagation.
Statement 2: Sound does not propagate in a vacuum, as it does not have particles that can vibrate.

• A. Only statement 1 is true
• B. Only statement 2 is true
• C. Both the statements are true
• D. Both the statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Both the statements are true

Since sound is produced when a body vibrates, these vibrations of the body are transmitted in a medium in the form of waves from one place to another. In a vacuum, there are no particles to vibrate. Therefore, no sound is produced.
