The travelling of light and sound are two contrasting things.The sound wave being a longitudinal mechanical wave requires a medium and makes use of the inertia and elasticity of the medium in order to progress.Whereas a light wave being an electromagnetic wave requires no medium to travel and propogates by means of changing electric and magnetic fields.
What else can I help you with?
Can light and sound travel through vacuum?
Light can. Sound can't.
What things can light and sound travel through?
sound and light can travel through sound air solids water liquids light wiers lightbubs extentions etc.
Can light and sound travel through space?
light can but sound cant as there is no air
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Yes, both light and sound can travel through glass. Glass is transparent to light, allowing it to pass through without significant absorption or scattering. Sound can also travel through glass, but with some attenuation due to its denser nature compared to air.
How do you Compare and contrast light and sound energy?
Light energy consists of electromagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light, while sound energy consists of mechanical waves that travel at a much slower speed. Light energy does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound energy does. Light energy can travel through a vacuum, whereas sound energy cannot.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.
What are differences and similarities of sound and light?
Differences: Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to travel, while light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum. Sound travels slower than light. Sound waves are longitudinal, while light waves are transverse. Similarities: Both sound and light waves exhibit wave properties such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Both can be described in terms of frequency and wavelength. Sound and light can both create patterns, such as standing waves.
What would not travel thruogh a room with no air is it sound or light?
sound
How does light and sound waves travel?
vibration
Does sound travel faster in the presents of light?
no
