Question

Sound can travel through

• A. Gases only
• B. Solids-only
• C. Liquids only
• D. solids, liquids and gases only

Answer 1

The correct option is D

solids, liquids and gases only

The correct option is D

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Sound is a type of energy that vibrating matter generates and transmits.
2. The molecules of the material move backwards and forward in the direction the wave is travelling as sound travels through matter (solid, liquid, or gas).
3. Solids have close-packed molecules than liquids and gases, which allows sound to go through them more quickly.
4. Because gas molecules are the farthest apart, sound travels through them at the lowest frequencies.
5. Since there is nothing for the sound to move through in a vacuum, it cannot travel.
6. Sound can therefore travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

Final Answer: - Sound can travel through Solids, Liquids and Gases Only.
