Question
Sound is a type of energy, just like light, heat, motion, and electricity. Sound is energy that people can hear. It’s produced by vibration. A vibration is a quick back and forth movement. If you pulled a rubber band between your fingers so that it made a “twang” noise, it would vibrate. That vibration produces a sound. For sound to travel, it needs a medium, or something with molecules, to carry it. Sound energy can travel underwater, in the air, and through doors, walls, and windows, too. But it cannot travel if there’s no matter to carry it, like in the vacuum of deep space.
Based on the passage, sound doesn’t travel in deep space because ________.
A
there is no energy in deep space
B
there is no light to see it in deep space
C
there are no molecules to carry it in deep space
D
there is no heat in deep space
