Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether you and your friend can hear each other on the Moon, we need to consider how sound travels. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sound Propagation**: Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel. It propagates through the medium by creating regions of compression and rarefaction. 2. **Atmospheric Conditions on Earth**: On Earth, we have a thick atmosphere composed of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. This atmosphere acts as a medium for sound waves to travel through. When you speak, your vocal cords create vibrations in the air, which then travel to the ears of the listener. ...
