The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of how long it will take for the sound from a bomb explosion on the moon to reach the Earth, we need to consider the properties of sound and the environment between the moon and Earth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sound Propagation**: - Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel. It cannot travel through a vacuum. 2. **Identifying the Environment**: - The space between the moon and the Earth is a vacuum. This means there are no air molecules or any other medium present. 3. **Conclusion on Sound Travel**: - Since sound cannot travel through a vacuum, the sound produced by the bomb explosion on the moon will not reach the Earth at all. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the time it would take for the sound to reach Earth is not measurable, as it will not travel through the vacuum. The correct option is "none of these."
