a. Sound cannot propagate through vacuum.
Sound requires a material medium to propagate, it does not travel
through vacuum.
b. The sound of thunder is heard few seconds after the flash of lightning is
seen
during a thunder storm.
The enormous difference between the speed of light and speed of sound
is responsible for this. Light travels faster than sound in air. Hence the sound of
thunder is heard few seconds after the flash of lightning is seen during a thunder
storm.
c. Sound travels much faster in solids than in liquids and gases.

In solids molecules are closely and tightly packed. The energy flows
from one molecule to another easily and fast.

connected with conductors and current flows in the appliances.
An incomplete circuit is the one which is not connected with conductors and
in which current does not flow.

check if all the components are properly connected in the circuit. Check that the
connecting wires are not left naked. Do not touch the switches and electric
appliances with wet hands.
