MHT CET · Physics · Waves and Sound
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
- A Sound wave travels in a straight line.
- B Sound is propagated as waves.
- C Sound can travel through vacuum.
- D Sound is a form of energy.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Sound can travel through vacuum.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Sound waves travel by vibrating particles of a medium, however in vacuum due to absence of medium sound waves cannot travel.
