Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Light waves are electromagnetic waves which do not need any medium to travel. That's why we can receive heat and light from the sun but can not hear the explosion on its surface because the sound is produced by the vibrations of the particles of the object. Hence particles are the main carriers of the sound waves. But the position of the particles does not change while vibrating. So a medium is needed for the propagation of the sound.
So the correct statement would be that the explosion on the surface of the sun cannot be heard by us.
