Which of the following media allow the transmission of sound waves through them? I. air II. liquid III. solids

Sound waves are disturbances in a medium that propagate through the medium and transfer energy from one point to another. The transmission of sound waves depends on the physical properties of the medium, including its elasticity and density. Air (Option I) is a gas that is compressible and has a relatively low density, which makes it an excellent medium for transmitting sound waves. Liquids (Option II) are also able to transmit sound waves, although the speed of sound in liquids is slower than in gases because liquids are more dense and less compressible. Solids (Option III) are able to transmit sound waves as well, but their density and elasticity make them more rigid, which means that sound waves in solids tend to be transmitted as elastic waves or mechanical waves, rather than as acoustic waves. Therefore, the correct answer is "I, II, and III".
