A boy has a cork on his fishing line in a lake. His brother throws a rock in the lake near where he is fishing, and the waves created from the rock splashing cause the boy's cork to bob up and down for over a minute. What is the medium for the waves in this scenario?
the cork
the water
the rock
the fishing line
Through which medium is it impossible to transmit sound waves?
space
rock
air
water
