Which statement describes the transmission of mechanical waves?(1 point)

They cannot travel through matter, but they can in a vacuum.

They can travel through matter and in a vacuum.

They can travel through matter, but not in a vacuum.

They cannot travel through matter nor in a vacuum.

I think A

1. Waves will pass through the material

2. Matter is needed to transmit sound waves
3. Seismic waves carry energy through Earth and shake Earth below the seismograph
4. They can travel through matter, but not in a vacuum
please don't cheat use this to check your answers.

I don't agree with you. For example, the next time you go swimming, place your ear in the water, have a friend hit the wall on the opposite side of the pool and see if you can hear the sound. I'll be you can hear it AND it will sound louder than you can hear it in air. It just traveled through water (or air) OR just clap your hands and hear the report. The sound wave just traveled from your hands to your ears. Bingo, you heard it.

bdog is right awnser is a troll

Air is a matter. It has mass and occupies space.

So what is it

To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the basic properties of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium (matter) for the transfer of energy. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and water waves.

Based on this understanding, we can eliminate answer choices A and D.

Answer choice B states that mechanical waves can travel through matter and in a vacuum. This statement is not accurate because mechanical waves require a medium and cannot propagate through a vacuum, which is devoid of matter. So, we can eliminate answer choice B.

That leaves us with answer choice C, which states that mechanical waves can travel through matter but not in a vacuum. This statement aligns with our understanding of mechanical waves as waves that need a medium to travel.

Therefore, the correct answer is C: They can travel through matter, but not in a vacuum.
