What are infrasound waves?
Just like "infrared" is light that we can't see because its frequency is lower than the frequency of red light, "infrasound" is vibration or waves in air that we don't hear, because its frequency is lower that the lower limit of human sound perception.
How do you turn light into sound?
Light has waves right? And sound have waves. If you shine like a laser, a very strong laser, the light waves maybe so strong that is could vibrate the air around it, causing sound
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.
How fast are ultrasonic sound waves?
Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

How light waves and sound waves are different?
Light is electromagnetic radiation, while sound is the vibration of air. While sound travels at around 1,100 feet per second, light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per hour. Also, sound requires a solid, liquid or gas to travel while light can travel through empty space.

What kind of waves are microwaves?
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
Why aren't all sounds a like?
Sound waves vary from frequency, pitch, speed and wavelengths all affecting the sound.

Mechanical waves, like sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves, do. Electromagnetic waves, like radio, light, and X-rays, do not.

What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
Difference between radio wave and sound wave?
The frequency of all electrical waves is measured in cycles per second or Hertz, sound waves or audio is the lower range of the spectrum from one Hz to about ten Kilo Hz where the frequency is to high for human or animal hearing that is where radio waves or radio frequency start up to many Giga Hz where the different light frequencies start like white light, infra red, ultra violet and X-ray ETC.
Can sound waves be polarized like electromagnetic waves can?
For polarization the direction of the oscillation has to be perpendicular to the direction of travel. In sound waves, which are longitudinal waves, this isn't the case and thereby can not be polarized.
How light waves and sound waves are different?
Light is electromagnetic radiation, while sound is the vibration of air. While sound travels at around 1,100 feet per second, light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per hour. Also, sound requires a solid, liquid or gas to travel while light can travel through empty space.
What do sound and light have in common?
they both can be reflected sound would be reflected as an echo and light like when you flash a flash light at a mirror
