Astronauts on the moon would not be able to hear a landslide because

• the lunar dust deadens sounds

• intensive sunlight destroys sound waves

• air molecules on the moon are too far apart to carry sound

In a vacuum, radio waves, visible light, and x-rays all have the same

• wavelength

• speed

• frequency

• energy
