Light isanalogous in many ways to sound and many of the equations used to describe sound also apply to light, but there are limitations. Sound waves don't really polarize the way light waves do for example. Light also displays some characteristics of particle behavior that contradict its wave behavior - again making it different from sound.

What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves
What type of light rays are there?
From highest to lowest: Gamma, X-ray, Infrared (heat), Visible (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue), Ultraviolet, Radio. Radio waves are not sound waves but are the light rays that sound is converted into before being sent to your radio and your radio converts these light rays back into sound.
Radio waves carry what from a station to your home?
Radio = sound wave T.V. = light wave [and sound from the speakers <33] That is completely wrong. Radio and television signals are both sent by RADIO WAVES.
Is a electromagnetic waves a form of sound?
No. Electromagnetic waves are light waves that include gamma waves, x-rays, UV light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, TV waves, and radio waves--basically any form of radiation.
Do waves displace matter?
Mechanical waves, like sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves, do. Electromagnetic waves, like radio, light, and X-rays, do not.
Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
Are radio waves a form of sound or light?
When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means of radio waves.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves
What travels in waves?
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
Among sound waves light waves X rays Gamma rays and radio waves what is fundamentally different from the others?
Sound wave.
What type of light rays are there?
From highest to lowest: Gamma, X-ray, Infrared (heat), Visible (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue), Ultraviolet, Radio. Radio waves are not sound waves but are the light rays that sound is converted into before being sent to your radio and your radio converts these light rays back into sound.
Where waves are found?
Ocean, light, radio, sound..etc etc
How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
Why are sound waves more affected by temperature variations than radio waves?
Sound is effected by air pressure and temperature and the movement of the source. Light and radio waves are virtually unaffected by the air.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Do sound require a medium?
Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.
