They can both be analyzed as waves, but light is also a particle phenomenon. Sound must have a medium through which to travel; no medium, no sound. Light needs no medium through which to travel. Our experience of both sound and light can change by what is called the Doppler Effect; the frequency of the waves depends on the movement of the source relative to the observer. However, the waves of light themselves are always moving at c (in a vacuum) regardless of the movement of the source relative to the observer. Sound waves, on the other hand, do change speed depending on the relative movements of the source and observer. If the observer is moving through the air at a given velocity, some fraction of that velocity might be added to or subracted from the velocity of the observed sound.
difference is, sound travels in waves and light travels as packets of energy called photons.
Light s faster than sound.
Alike : simply both are energy
ANSWER: They are both the same except for the frequency spectrum sound is at the very low end and light is at the extreme of the hi frequency
Both have:
1)They are both caused by vibrations.
2)Both reflect echoes from walls and light from mirrors.
3)Both can impact energy on an object over a distance. Sound can make something vibrate or put pressure on your eardrum. Light can make something worm or energize the photoreceptors (specialized nerve cells in the retina that are responsible for vision).
Differences:
1) Sound is mechanical energy, light is electromagnetic energy.
They both have wavelengths light has electromagnetic radiation. BY:ALYSSA BROOKE SUMMERS
they both have waves
They are both energy and they are both waveforms.
Sound and light are alike when light is considered a wave. Light may also be considered a stream of particles, but in the times that it is considered a wave it obeys the same mathematical laws that sound does.
Light energy can exist independently of matter. *Studyisland
-- sound energy -- light energy -- heat energy
Xerox machines do not convert light energy into sound.
It is different because sound vibrates and light reflects
They are both energy and they are both waveforms.
Sound and light are alike when light is considered a wave. Light may also be considered a stream of particles, but in the times that it is considered a wave it obeys the same mathematical laws that sound does.
Sound is made out of waves and Light is made out of things called wave-particles and are kind of like waves, but not always. But if you mean Sound energy and Light energy I don't really know wat you mean with Sound energy
Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.
The words 'weigh' and 'way' sound alike but have different spellings. The words 'weight' and 'wait' also sound alike but have different spellings.
Light energy can exist independently of matter. *Studyisland
Well there are many ways they are alike, but one way would be that they both transfer energy. Other ways would be: - they carry energy -can be reflected - are picked up by are senses
Homonym words that sound alike but have different meanings. Example:blew and blue They sound alike but have different meanings.
-- sound energy -- light energy -- heat energy
-- sound energy -- light energy -- heat energy
Words that sound alike or look alike are called homophones (e.g. to, two, too) and homographs (e.g. lead as in metal vs. lead as in guiding). These words can cause confusion in writing and speaking, so it's important to pay attention to their meanings and contexts.
