light waves, but not sound waves

Answer 1

The correct response is: **light waves, but not sound waves.**

Sound waves require a medium (like air or water) to travel through, and since space is a vacuum, sound cannot propagate. However, light waves (electromagnetic radiation) can travel through the vacuum of space and can be observed on Earth.
