The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the given media sound can travel, we need to analyze each option based on the properties of sound and the nature of the media. ### 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 because there are no particles to transmit the sound waves. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(i) Glass of Water**: - Water is a liquid, and sound can travel through liquids. Therefore, sound can travel through a glass of water. - **(ii) Balloon Full of Air**: - Air is a gas, and sound can travel through gases. Hence, sound can travel through a balloon full of air. - **(iii) Iron Bar**: - Iron is a solid, and sound travels fastest in solids due to closely packed particles. Therefore, sound can travel through an iron bar. - **(iv) Vacuum**: - A vacuum is the absence of matter, meaning there are no particles to carry sound waves. Thus, sound cannot travel through a vacuum. 3. **Conclusion**: - Sound can travel through the following media: - (i) Glass of water - (ii) Balloon full of air - (iii) Iron bar - Sound cannot travel through: - (iv) Vacuum ### Final Answer: Sound can travel through (i) Glass of water, (ii) Balloon full of air, and (iii) Iron bar. Sound cannot travel through (iv) Vacuum. ---
