Both ocean waves and sound waves have a fairly large range of wavelengths - for example, there is a ratio of about 1:1000 between the frequencies (and therefore, also the wavelengths) of sound we can hear. Therefore, there is quite a bit of overlap.

What are the names of the longer wavelengths?
For electromagnetic waves: thermal radiation and radio waves are pretty long. For sound waves: bass sound waves are pretty long, so is quiet. For water waves: the tides
Sound waves have two parts?
Sound waves have wavelengths and frequencies.
Which station's signal has waves with longer wavelengths?
electromagnetic waves with a longer wavelength has
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
What is the wavelength of ultrasound?
Ultrasound has wavelengths shorter than 17 millimeters at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). Waves longer than 17 mm are classified as sound waves.
What are the variables on a sound spectrogram and how are they measured?
A sound spectrogram measures the frequency and wavelengths of sound waves. The frequency is measured in Hertz and the wavelengths are measured in meters.
Are ocean waves and sound waves different?
ocean waves have to do with water and sound waves have to do with sound
Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?
Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.
Why do sound waves travel around corners better then light waves?
This is also the reason AM radio signals travel around buildings and hills better than light waves (or even TV signals). The longer wavelengths diffract around obstacles that the shorter wavelengths cannot, regardless of the type of wave.
Are green wavelengths longer than orange wavelengths?
Sound waves are much longer then light waves.
What are the names of the wavelengths?
For electromagnetic waves: thermal radiation and radio waves are pretty long. For sound waves: bass sound waves are pretty long, so is quiet. For water waves: the tides
What is a sound wave bending around a corner?
diffraction
