Question

In which of the following situations is a sound wave most likely to travel through air?

A. An alarm clock rings in a vaccum.
B. A giant star explodes.
C. A grasshopper eats a leaf.
D. An astronaut uses tools in space.
Is the answer A?
Thank you.

Answer 1

I don't think so. Sound can't be transported by a vacuum. The question contains the give away answer; i.e., "most likely to travel through AIR". Therefore, no air, no way for sound to get from point A to point B.

Answer 2

Oh... Is the answer B?

Thanks

Answer 3

If it's B how does the sound travel through "empty space" (a vacuum). No air, no sound.

Answer 4

Ok. so if there is no air in space then the answer is C.

Answer 5

Not really a tricky question. You go through the answers and c is the only one in air.

Have you heard the question, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there (implying no living thing is there), is there a sound?" Think about that some, here is a link if you want to delve into it.
