Several units are used, depending on what you want to measure. For example, in the case of sound, you can use units of energy, of intensity (energy/area), of wavelength, frequency, speed, and probably a few more.

Where can light and sound energy be found?
Anywhere where there is light or sound!
What is brightness as sound is to light?
Loudness is to brightness as sound is to light.
What is fast light or sound?
Light is faster than sound
Why sound of light can't be heard?
Light makes no sound, hence there is no "sound of light", and anything that doesn't exist cannot be heard.
What Is A Unit Of Sound Intensity Called?
The sound intensity is a sound energy quantity which has the unit watt per square meter (W/m²). Because our eardrums are moved by sound pressure variations use the sound pressure with the unit pascal Pa = N/m². Sound is measured by a SPL meter (SPL = Sound Pressure Level).
Do decibels have light waves and sound waves?
The term decibel is a unit of measurement of the loudness of sound. It has nothing to do with light, which is measured in lumens.
Is there a science word that has to do with light or sound that starts with j?
There are very limited science words that start with J and none of them are related to light and sound. However, aÊjoule is a unit of electrical, mechanical, or heat energy.
What is the unit for sound measurement?
the unit of measuring sound is decibel.
What is the frequency of a sound a measure of?
The basic unit of a frequency is called Hertz. One Hz is one cycle per second. This applies to frequencies such as sound, radio, and light.
What is a unit of a sound?
The loudness of sound is measured using the "decibel" or "bel" unit.
What is the SI unit of amplitude for sound?
The SI unit for the amplitude of sound is decibel. It is written as dB.
Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound
Is a calorie a unit of light?
It's a unit of energy, not light or weight.
What is the unit to measure frequency of a sound wave?
Generally the unit used for frequency is Hertz (cycles per second).
Where can light and sound energy be found?
Anywhere where there is light or sound!
What is brightness as sound is to light?
Loudness is to brightness as sound is to light.
What is fast light or sound?
Light is faster than sound
