Question

think about the various properties of light and sound waves. which properties are unique to light waves compared to sound waves, and which properties are common to both light and sound waves? able to travel through outer space select transmits as a disturbance in the p select select light wave sound wave

Explanation:

For the property "Able to travel through outer space": Light waves (electromagnetic waves) can travel through a vacuum (outer space) as they don't require a medium. Sound waves are mechanical waves and need a medium (like air, water, solids) to travel, so they can't travel through outer space (which is a vacuum). So this property is unique to light waves.

For the property "Transmits as a disturbance in the...": Both light and sound waves transmit as a disturbance (light as electromagnetic disturbance, sound as mechanical disturbance in a medium). But if we assume the second part (though the text is cut off, but from wave nature): Both waves transfer energy as a disturbance. But for the first dropdown, "Able to travel through outer space" is a light wave property.

Answer:

For "Able to travel through outer space", the correct option is: Light wave
