different media.
B. The salt is moving because sound vibration is transferred through air and reach the
plastic wrap.
C. The salt is not moving because sound vibration has not enough power to move thing.

Question 2.
Because the earth itself is a giant magnet. South magnetic pole of earth
lies close to North geographic pole, it will always attract North end of
magnet. On the other hand, North magnetic pole of earth which lies close
to South geographic pole will attract South end of magnet. In conclusion,
our magnet always pointing North and South.
