What conclusion does the student most likely make based

on this data?

Is)

Light waves always travel the same speed; however, the

speed of sound is determined by the medium that it

travels through

O All sound waves always have the same energy, so the

temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed.

O Light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in

tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a

medium, so it travels fastest in a gas.

Tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light

waves, however, sound waves make particles bounce

into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Which one?

Ann Cabrera · Answer 1

option a

Explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic wave which can travel in vacuum as well as any medium. The speed of light is maximum in vacuum. The electromagnetic wave travels by oscillating electric and magnetic field to the direction of motion of wave.

On the other hand, sound waves are mechanical waves which can only travel in a medium as they can only move forward by oscillating material particles.

Thus, the student should conclude option a.
