Do light and sound both move in waves?
Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.
How are sound waves and light waves related?
They are both waves...
Are radio waves a form of sound or light?
When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means of radio waves.
What does light and sound have in common?
Both can be studied as waves.
How are light and sound alike and differ?
they both have waves
How are light and sound alike?
Sound and light are VERY Different. They are both waves... But light can travel through a vacuum and sound requires a medium (matter... Ex. air or water) to travel through. Also they are 2 different kinds of waves (Light~ Transverse, and Sound~ Longitudinal) Though there are some similarities. Both are waves. Therefore they have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes, and speeds. They both can be measured also.
What is a way light and sound are different?
light has properties of both a wave and a particle whereas sound travels exclusively as a waves. i think Einstein did some work with light waves
Which of the following properties of sound is the most similar to the brightness of light?
Both sound and light waves reflect. Sound waves reflect off of objects to create an echo. Light waves reflect off of objects and point the light in another direction.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
Is refraction a property of transverse waves longitudinal waves or both?
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
How are light and sound wave alike?
Light and sound waves are found on the same spectrum. Both are types of waves, but light having a shorter wave length and a higher frequency, we can see light. Sound having a shorter wavelength means that we cannot see it with the naked eye
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
