Based on the information in Figure 1 and Table 1, which statement best compares a sound wave in a vacuum to a sound wave in air?

C. A sound wave cannot travel in a vacuum because there are no molecules to transfer the energy.

A. A sound wave in a vacuum travels much faster than a sound wave in air because there are no molecules to slow it down.

B. A sound wave in air travels much slower than a sound wave in a vacuum because of the number of molecules in air.

D. A sound wave travels at the same speed in a vacuum as a sound wave in air does.

The diagram shows how a sound wave from an emergency vehicle changes as it moves through air and then through a brick wall. Which statement best describes how the amplitude and energy of a sound wave are affected as the wave travels through air and as the wave travels through a brick wall?
