    False
  • Name three materials that sound can travel through
    Solids (e.g., wood) Liquids (e.g., water) Gases (e.g., air
  • In which directions do sound vibrations travel?
    Sound vibrations travel in all directions.
  • Why is there no sound in space?
    Because there is no air
  • Can sound travel through different materials?
    Yes, sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases
  • How fast does sound travel compared to light?
    Sound travels much slower than light.
