The diagram shows a person observing a thunderstorm located several kilometers away. The person hears the thunder several seconds after seeing the lightning. Which statement accurately explains the difference in observations of sound and light by the observer?
Human eyes see light faster than their ears can hear sound.
The medium the waves are traveling through is different for each type of wave.

Sound waves travel faster than light waves.
The picture below shows a ringing bell inside a vacuum jar. As air is pumped from the vacuum jar, the sound level of the ringing bell will decrease until it can no longer be heard.
This happens because air must be present in the jar in order for
sound to be transferred
electricity to flow through the wires
the rubber to seal the jar
the bell clanger to vibrate
What do electromagnetic waves NOT need to transfer energy?
matter
speed
wavelength
frequency
