What kind of energy are in light waves?
heat energy
Which kind of energy travels as waves and moves through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, which includes light. Also, gravitational waves.
What kind of waves does sound travel?
sound waves
What is are the only kind of energy waves you can see?
"Visible" light is the only kind of electromagneticenergy waves you can see. But it's notthe only kind of energy wave you can see.You can certainly see ocean waves in the water, seismic waves in the land, standing waveson a guitar string, and traveling waves running up and down a long guy-wire.
What is the difference between light waves and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum. The speed of sound is 343 meters per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
