Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different.
Sound waves are the oscillating compression of molecules in a solid, liquid or gas. Electromagnetic waves are oscillations in the electric and magnetic fields. Sound waves, being mechanical, must have a material substance to travel through, but electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, where there is no matter as well as travel through material.
Sound is, of course, the vibrations of air which we hear with our ears, but can be vibrations in solids like steel or liquids like water. Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, light from the sun, and even x-rays.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves are not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Why isn't sound a part of the em spectrum?
Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.
Is sound an example of an electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a longitudinal wave consisting of mechanical vibrations travelling through matter (solid , liquid, gas, etc). An electromagnetic wave (light) is, classically, a transversely oscillating electric and magnetic field and requires no medium in order to travel.
What is sound with no wave pattern?
Electromagnetic Waves.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No, a sound wave is not an electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum and do not need a medium. Sound waves are disturbances in a medium caused by vibrations, while electromagnetic waves are fluctuations in electric and magnetic fields.
Is a radio wave a sound wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation.
Is a sound wave part of a electromagnetic spectrum?
No, a sound wave is not electromagnetic, it is a pressure wave in the air. The speed of propagation is about 1100 ft/second, so 1 mile in 5 seconds.
What is the Doppler efect?
A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.A change of frequence in a wave (usually in a sound, or electromagnetic wave), due to the relative movement between the source of the sound and an observer.
What kind of waves are sound and light?
Sound is a mechanical wave.Light is an electromagnetic wave.
How much pollution does a electromagnetic wave cause?
Electromagnetic waves only cause sound pollution because they are sound waves.
