Science fiction movies sometimes take place in space and contain scenes where things explode very loudly and brightly. Why is this unrealistic?(1 point) Responses Light waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Light waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space. The pressure in space would keep explosions from being very large. The pressure in space would keep explosions from being very large. Large explosions are more likely to create seismic waves, not sound and light. Large explosions are more likely to create seismic waves, not sound and light. Matter is needed to transmit sound waves.

The most accurate response is: Matter is needed to transmit sound waves.
In the vacuum of space, there is no air (or matter) to carry sound waves, so explosions would not be heard. While light waves can travel through space, sound waves cannot, making the loud explosions depicted in science fiction films unrealistic.
