Sound cannot travel through: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Sound cannot travel through:

A. Liquids

B. Gases

C. Solids

D. Vacuum

Answer: Option D

Solution (By JKExamLibrary)

Sound requires material medium for mechanical wave propagation. Vacuum lacks particles to transmit vibrations. Light (EM wave) travels through vacuum. Memory tip: 'Sound = mechanical wave ⇒ needs medium; light = EM wave ⇒ no medium needed'. Fundamental wave property frequently tested in competitive exams to assess medium-dependence understanding.
