It's not a fixed number :
light can be created by various atomic reactions including even the change in electron orbit,
and it disappears (ceases to exist) when it reacts with matter.
(Note that EVERY image you've seen exists in your mind only after a light-ray gave up its very existence just so that you could see something.)

The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?
The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy that is carried by the waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves.
How are light waves created?
light is not composed of waves .it is a form of energy . i think the waves in light are not created because there is no reason for the creation of waves in light
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.
Are radio waves light sound waves?
Light isanalogous in many ways to sound and many of the equations used to describe sound also apply to light, but there are limitations. Sound waves don't really polarize the way light waves do for example. Light also displays some characteristics of particle behavior that contradict its wave behavior - again making it different from sound.
Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?
Light Waves.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
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.

How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.

Sound waves don't really polarize the way light waves do for example. Light also displays some characteristics of particle behavior that contradict its wave behavior - again making it different from sound.
Are sound waves stronger than light waves?
No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull
Do all light waves emit radiation?
Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?
Light Waves.
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.
