sound waves, but not light waves

neither sound waves nor light waves

Answer 1

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

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