Science fiction movies that include explosion sound effects for battles in space are not scientifically correct. why is this? a. the sound from an explosion can only be transmitted by air. b. there is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves. c. sound cannot be created by solid objects such as spaceships. d. there is no electromagnetic field in space to transmit sound waves.

B.There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.

Explanation:

Sound waves are created when there is a vibration of the particles in a medium. For example, our voice is an example of sound wave: when we speak, the molecules of air around us start vibrating, producing regions of higher concentration of molecules (called compressions) and of lower concentration (called rarefactions). It is clear from this definition that sound waves can only propagate if there is a physical medium: such as a gas, a liquid or a solid, but sound waves cannot propagate through empty space.

Since space is almost empty, the correct choice is

B.There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.
