<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>B. Sound waves can move through various mediums.</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another</u></em>. It involves transmission of energy from the source to another point.
  • <u><em>A wave may or may not require a medium for transmission.</em></u> Waves that require medium for transmission are called <em><u>mechanical waves </u></em>and those that do not require medium for transmission are known as <em><u>electromagnetic waves</u></em>.
  • <em><u>Light is an example of electromagnetic wave therefore it can be blocked when obstacles are placed on its path.</u></em> However, for the case of sound waves, they can not be blocked by an obstacle as sound would travel through the medium used to block.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

we have formula of frequency :

frequency(f)= speed of sound(c)/wavelength(λ)

for wavelength we swipe it with frequency as follows

λ=c/f

λ=300,000,000/101,700,000

λ=2.949
