Answer (1)

False - Light can travel through a vacuum. This is why we can see sunlight on Earth despite the vast, airless space between us and the sun.

True - A shadow forms when an object blocks the path of light.

True - Plants need light to make food through the process of photosynthesis.

False - The moon is not a luminous object; it reflects the Sun's light.

False - You cannot see through an opaque object as it does not allow light to pass through.

True - You can prove that light travels in a straight line by aligning several cardboard pieces with holes and observing that light only passes through when the holes are perfectly aligned.

False - You cannot see a candle flame through a bent pipe because light travels in straight lines.

True - Noise pollution can negatively impact sleep and mental health by causing stress and disturbances.

True - Schools and hospitals should be in NO-Horn zones to maintain a quiet environment conducive to learning and recovery.

False - Soft sounds are typically caused by small vibrations.

True - Loudness depends on the strength of the vibrations; stronger vibrations produce louder sounds.

True - Loud sounds indeed have high intensity, which is measured in decibels.

False - Noise from machines can be controlled using soundproofing, maintaining equipment, or regulating usage.

True - Trees are effective at absorbing sound, which helps reduce noise pollution in environments.

False - Sound travels faster in metals than in water because metals are denser and transmit sound waves more quickly.
