The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement given is "Sound cannot travel in vacuum." We need to determine if this statement is true or false. 2. **Definition of Sound**: Sound is a type of mechanical wave. This means that it requires a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel through. 3. **Medium Requirement**: For sound to propagate, it needs particles to vibrate and transmit the sound waves. In a vacuum, there are no particles present. 4. **Conclusion**: Since sound requires a medium to travel and cannot propagate in a vacuum (where there are no particles), the statement "Sound cannot travel in vacuum" is indeed true. 5. **Marking the Statement**: Based on the evaluation, we will mark 'T' (True) against the statement. **Final Answer**: T (True) ---
