sound is a wave. while light has wave-particle duality. It acts like a wave but consisting of tiny packets (particles) called photons.
hope this helps.

Do LIGHT WAVES TRAVEL FASTER THAN SOUND WAVES.?
No light travels way faster
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.
What is the fastest way to send information using sound waves light waves or water waves?
Light waves
What is the relationship for angles of incidence and reflection for sound?
Sound reflects from a smooth surface the same way light does---the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Its on page 385.
What is the traveling of concentrated light through long tiny fibers of glass to carry sound?
Fiber optics does not transmit sound. The long tiny fibers are long narrow strands of glass or a glass-like material generally referred to as optical fibers. Light travels inside these strands with little loss. Modulating the light makes the light into a signal and so the light can carry information. One common use of optical fibers to transmit information is the use to communicate phone calls, so sound is convered to a light signal and transmitted through optical fibers and at the other end it can be converted back into sound. Optical fibers do not transmit sound but transmit light that contains the information abut the sound. The phase "concentrated light" does not really apply to this process in an obvious way because "concentrated" is a term with meaning only in a comparative sense. Light is transmitted through optical fibers and carries digital information of all sorts.
How do sound differ from one another?
it differs by the vibrations
Does light travels the same way as sound?
No. Light can't travel through solid brick, steel etc, but sound can.
Indicate and describe a major way the stereomicroscope differs from the compound light microscope in terms of its use?
A stereomicroscope is 3D and a compound light microscope is 2D.
In which way does one isotope of carbon differs from another?
The number of neutrons in it.
Why sound travels faster then light in television?
It doesn't. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/second; sound travels roughly a million times slower. By the way, the light you see and the sound you hear in television doesn't travel as light or sound for most of the way - the information is encoded in a radio wave (which also travels at the speed of light). Only in the television set is the information transformed back into normal light, and sound.
Do LIGHT WAVES TRAVEL FASTER THAN SOUND WAVES.?
No light travels way faster
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
Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
How many way are there to turn on a light?
clappibg clicking sound voice
Which is the most important way in which the laser technique for controlling chemical reactions differs from earlier methods?
it uses light beems and modern technology!

WHO explains one way that a general partnership differs from a limited partnership?
the government specimen if you realize
