A sound-proof window has two panes of glass with a vacuum in between. Why is sound unable to travel through the window while light can still shine through?

Light can travel through both the glass and the vacuum, but sound can travel only through the glass.

Sound has a different frequency than light, so it cannot pass through the window.

Sound has a different wavelength than light, so it cannot pass through the window.

Light can travel through both the glass and the vacuum, but sound can travel only through the vacuum.
