    A bomb explodes on the moon. How long will it take for its sound to reach the earth?

    A)  10 s                                      

    B)  1000 s          

    C)  1 day                                   

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Surface both are smaller compared to earth. Therefore the escape velocity at moon is \[2.38\,\,km{{s}^{-1}}\]. At the temperature of moon, the average velocity of gas molecules greater than this. Therefore, gas molecules cannot stay at moon and escaped out. Hence, there is no atmosphere around the moon. Since, sound waves need a medium for propagation therefore, sound produced by the bomb explosion will never reach the earth.
