A

X-rays

B

radio waves

C

infrasonic waves

D

ultraviolet rays

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
X - rays, radiowaves and ultraviolet rays are electromagnetic waves and do not require a medium to travel whereas infrasonic are mechanical waves and they require a medium to travel. Hence, infrasonic waves do not travel in vacuum.
