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.
What is an explanation of how energy travels in waves to produce light and sound?
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.
Are sound waves stronger than light waves?
No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull
Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Why are light and sound waves?
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.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?
Light Waves.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
