Light is electromagnetic radiation, while sound is the vibration of air. While sound travels at around 1,100 feet per second, light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per hour. Also, sound requires a solid, liquid or gas to travel while light can travel through empty space.
light waves are a form of light. sound waves are a form of sound. you can hear sound but can not see it.you can see light but you can not hear it.light from a light source such as the sun,a light bulb or flashlight.light is made up of all colors.
Sound waves need a medium like air or water. At 20°C the speed of sound is
343 m/s.
Light waves need no medium. In vacuum the speed of light is
c = 299,792,458 m/s.
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
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.
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
light waves fast
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
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".
Sound wave.
Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.
light has properties of both a wave and a particle whereas sound travels exclusively as a waves. i think Einstein did some work with light waves
The two are different because Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, but light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves, and sound requires a medium through which to travel, but light doesn't. Basically, Sound waves move sort of differently than Light waves.

No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
light and sound are in waves, because when a sound is made, such as a gun shot, the sound rips through the air in waves. as for light? noidea bro.
