The correct Answer is:
To determine through which of the four boxes sound would not be able to travel, we need to analyze the properties of each medium present in the boxes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Boxes**: We have four boxes: - Box A: Filled with air - Box B: Filled with wood - Box C: Filled with water - Box D: Filled with vacuum 2. **Understanding Sound Propagation**: Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to travel. The three types of media are: - Solids - Liquids - Gases 3. **Analyze Each Box**: - **Box A (Air)**: Air is a gas and contains particles. Sound can travel through air as it allows the vibrations of molecules to propagate. - **Box B (Wood)**: Wood is a solid. Sound can travel through solids as well, due to the close proximity of particles that can transmit vibrations. - **Box C (Water)**: Water is a liquid. Sound can travel through liquids, as the molecules can also transmit vibrations. - **Box D (Vacuum)**: A vacuum is an empty space with no particles or molecules. Since sound requires a medium (particles) to propagate, it cannot travel through a vacuum. 4. **Conclusion**: The box through which sound would not be able to travel is Box D, the one filled with vacuum. ### Final Answer: **Sound cannot travel through Box D (Vacuum).** ---
