Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?

60% Answer Correctly

vacuum

none of these is a medium for sound waves

solid

liquid


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.
