they are different by the way they behave and the way it is different is one behaves like they should and the other one behaves bad.

What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Do sound waves always travel in straight lines explain?
No, Sound is a pressure wave not a linear wave, the waves radiate spherically from their point of origin. Also as a pressure wave, it travels in a medium and if that medium is moving the sound wave propagation can be modified by that movement (bent). They also behave like sea waves impinging on a headland and can be bent round objects in their path in complex ways.
Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?
A good example is vibrating guitar strings, as they are transverse, but the waves given off are sound, and sound is longtitude.
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
How are ocean waves different from sound waves?
Ocean waves have a distinct sound that soothes a lot of people and can help people sleep. They make a sort of whooshing sound and almost sounds like the wind mixed with water.
What do the sound waves look like?
Like waves
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.
Do sound waves vibrate the air?
No. Vibrating air IS sound waves. With no atmosphere (no air, like in space), there are no sound waves.

Can electromagnetic waves can behave like what type of particles?
blah blah blah
Electrons behave like what?
Electrons behave like waves and particles this is characterised by the wave side in the Bohr model and can be diffracted yet it will collide with other particles.
Do waves displace matter?
Mechanical waves, like sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves, do. Electromagnetic waves, like radio, light, and X-rays, do not.
Explain how sound travels?
Sound travels in waves called sound waves and they look like this )))))))))))))))))))))) except they are invisible
When does a photon behave like a wave and when does it behave like a particle?
Photons always behave somewhat like waves and somewhat like particles. We think of these as being basically different types of things, but on the subatomic scale, they blend into each other, and the distinction is lost.
What are the differences between water waves and sound waves?
sound waves are created by things that make sounds like sombody speaking or instruments. water waves are created by wind.
