The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options do not travel with the speed of light, we need to analyze the nature of each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Speed of Light**: The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) meters per second. All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at this speed. 2. **Identify the Options**: The question provides several options, which typically include various types of waves or particles. Common options might include: - Gamma rays - X-rays - Radio waves - Sound waves - Electrons 3. **Classify Each Option**: - **Gamma Rays**: These are a form of electromagnetic radiation and travel at the speed of light. - **X-rays**: These are also electromagnetic radiation and travel at the speed of light. - **Radio Waves**: These are another type of electromagnetic radiation and travel at the speed of light. - **Sound Waves**: These are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air or water) to travel through and do not travel at the speed of light. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the options, sound waves do not travel at the speed of light. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is sound waves. ### Final Answer: **Sound waves do not travel with the speed of light.** ---
