The reason why one cannot hear in space but light can be seen is because light and sound are different kinds of wave

Light is an electromagnetic wave that propagates by a changing magnetic field hat creates a changing electric field. Light is created by a vibrating electric charge, and is transmitted through a medium by the absorption and reemission of the light by the medium particles

Sound is a longitudinal mechanical wave that is propagated by the vibration of the particles of the medium.

Sound requires a medium to propagate and it cannot be propagated or heard through space which is a vacuum.

Sound is created by a source that is vibrating and the vibration is transmitted to particles in the medium including solids, liquids, gases and plasma that the vibrating energy is in direct contact with and the transfer of the sound energy continues between layers of adjacent particles for the medium for the sound to be propagated from place to place

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
