Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.

Can you convert sound waves to light waves or viseversa?
Yes, this happens all the time with communications. As radio and microwaves from mobile phones and radios are a form of the EM spectrum, which are converted into sound waves in the form of a person speaking or a song playing.
How are visible light ultraviolet light infrared light x-rays gamma rays microwaves and radio waves related?
In that they are all electromagnetic waves.
Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
Can all matter conduct sound waves?
no
Why does a sound wave travel the slowest in a vacuum?
Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.
What waves are used for killing germs?
Ultraviolet waves, microwaves, and ultrasonic sound waves can all accomplish the task.

Yes, this happens all the time with communications. As radio and microwaves from mobile phones and radios are a form of the EM spectrum, which are converted into sound waves in the form of a person speaking or a song playing.
What travels in waves?
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?
-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.
Do radio waves x-rays microwaves and the sun's waves have anything in common?
they are all rays
Why is light radio waves and microwave ovens related?
Light waves, radio waves, and microwaves are all on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
Which characteristic is common to microwaves radio waves and television waves?
They are all radio waves with frequencies lower than visible light.
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
How microwaves are linked to other waves such as light or radio waves?
All electromagnetic waves ... including the ones you listed, plus heat, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc. ... are all the same physical phenomenon. They differ only in their wavelength (frequency). By the way ... 'microwaves' are considered 'radio' waves.
