The cork does not change its position within the wave; instead, it moves up and down in its original position. What can be concluded about mechanical waves from this activity?

• Mechanical waves carry the particles of mediums along with the waves.

• Mechanical waves can move through empty spaces.

• Mechanical waves transfer energy but not matter.

• Mechanical waves do not carry energy.

  Mechanical waves do not carry energy.

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?

• 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 glass.

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