What else can I help you with?
Which phenomena supports the fact that light waves are smaller than sound?
The phenomenon of diffraction, where waves bend around obstacles, is stronger for light waves than sound waves due to their smaller wavelength. This can be observed, for example, in the ability of light to create sharp shadows, while sound waves diffract around corners and obstacles, causing them to spread out more.
Do light and sound both move in waves?
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.
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
What waves travel faster sound or light?
Light waves travel faster than sound waves.
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
Why are radio waves so much stronger than light waves?
because they cool like that
Why are radiant waves faster than sound waves?
radiant waves are waves that have their sources from the sun. they are light rays and light is faster than sound in all ramifications. the speed of light is 300 x 108 ms-1 while that of sound is 300x 106 ms-1 .
What are some similarities and differences between the light and sound waves?
Similarities: Both light and sound waves are forms of energy that travel in waves. They can both be reflected, refracted, and diffracted. Differences: Light waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium to travel through. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves.
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
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of sound waves is more easily observed because sound waves have longer wavelengths compared to light waves. This allows sound waves to diffract around obstacles more effectively, producing noticeable effects like the bending of sound around corners or obstacles. Light waves, with their shorter wavelengths, tend to diffract less noticeably and require specific conditions to observe diffraction effects.
Why sound waves faster than light waves?
they aren't, they are much much slower.
