The correct statement regarding sound and light waves is:
**Sound waves are mechanical waves that can only travel through a medium, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a medium or through a vacuum.**
To clarify:
- **Sound Waves:** These are mechanical waves, meaning they require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
- **Light Waves:** These are electromagnetic waves and can travel through a vacuum (as well as through various media like air or glass).
The other statements contain inaccuracies regarding the nature of sound and light waves.
