How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
What are similarities of light and sound?
They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.
How are waves measured?
It depends, if you mean light or sound waves, for example, there are a variety of factors to be measured: The length of a wave from peak to peak is represented with lambda. You can also measure velocity of a wave (how fast and in what direction it is moving). Frequency of light effects the color of the light, and frequency of sound effects its pitch.
What is fast light or sound?
Light is faster than sound
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.
Explanation on how fast light travels?
light travels very fast! it travels in the form of waves.
Which is fast sound or light?
Both are fast but light is faster by far.
Why does compression happen?
Sound waves move very fast
When you watch a fireworks display why does the light energy reach you before the sound energy does?
Because electromagnetic waves (light, radio, etc.) travel about 875,000 times as fast as sound waves.Speed of light = approx. 300,000,000 meters per secondSpeed of sound = approx 343 meters per second.
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
How much faster are electromagnetic wave than sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
