Sound waves cannot pass through

Questions based on paragraph : Sound is propagated in a material medium in the form of compression and rarefactions. One compression and one rarefaction together form one cycle of the sound wave. The number of cycles produced per second is called as frequency. A tuning fork is a two-pronged device which vibrates to produce sound when struck. The frequency of a tuning fork is decided by the dimensions of the prong and the material used for making the fork. When these sound waves reach ears of listener, his ear-drum vibrates. Accordingly specific signals are conveyed to the brain and the listener gets a sense of hearing sound. : If a sound wave consists of ten compressions and ten rarefactions, then how many cycles of wave will it form?

Compressions and rarefactions are formed in _____

Compression and rarefactions are formed in ______

Assertion : Sound waves travel in the form of compressions and rarefactions in air. Reason : Because crests and troughs cannot be sustained in air, therefore, sound waves cannot travel through air in the form of transverse waves.
