Between the moon and Earth, there is an empty vacuum. Which statement describes whether sound and light waves are able to travel from Earth to the moon? (1 point)

Question

• Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.
• Neither sound nor light can travel from Earth to the moon.
• Sound can travel from Earth to the moon, but not light.
• Both sound and light can travel from Earth to the moon.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.

Light waves, which are electromagnetic waves, can travel through the vacuum of space, while sound waves require a medium (like air or water) to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.
