Sound waves and light waves
• travel at the same speed through different materials.
Light waves can move at different speeds, but sound waves always move at the same speed.
Sound waves can move at different speeds, but light waves always move at the same speed.
They each travel at different
• speeds when moving through different materials.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

They each travel at different speeds when moving through different materials.

Light waves and sound waves behave differently in various media. Light travels at different speeds depending on the medium (e.g., air, water, glass), and sound also travels at different speeds based on the medium (e.g., air, water, solids).
