Sound travels in air in the form of:
ATransverse waves
BElectromagnetic waves
CCompressions and rarefactions
DStatic pressure
✓ Correct Answer: C — Compressions and rarefactions
Sound waves in air propagate as a series of alternating high-pressure (compressions) and low-pressure (rarefactions) regions.
