Which of these waves cannot travel through a vacuum?

  • A Sound waves
  • B Radio waves
  • C X-rays
  • D Light waves
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Sound waves
Explanation: Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate through the vibration of particles. This is why astronauts cannot hear sound directly in space.

Which force keeps planets in orbit around the sun?

  • A Magnetic force
  • B Electrostatic force
  • C Gravitational force
  • D Nuclear force
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Gravitational force
Explanation: Gravitational force is the attractive force between masses that keeps planets in orbit around the sun. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, this force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
