Which of the following media allow(s) the transmission of sound wave through them? I. Air II. Liquid III. Solid.
Answer Details
All three media, air, liquid and solid, allow the transmission of sound waves through them. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium for their propagation. In air, sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, where particles of air oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In liquids and solids, sound waves can also propagate as longitudinal waves, but they can also propagate as transverse waves, where particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Therefore, the correct answer is "I, II and III."
