Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Properties of Sound and Light

Sound and light are both forms of waves, but they have different properties. Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave and can travel through a vacuum as well as through various media like air and water.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options

Water: Both sound and light can travel through water. Sound travels as a mechanical wave, and light travels as an electromagnetic wave.
A vacuum: Light can travel through a vacuum because it is an electromagnetic wave. However, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium.
Both of these: This option suggests that both sound and light can travel through both water and a vacuum, which is incorrect because sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
None of the above: This option is incorrect because both sound and light can travel through water.
