Can a sound wave kill a person?
A sound wave can kill a person because let's say its too loud yes it can because the pressure between the person and the sound wave is too much and is it explodes you ears that make your brain go out of function
What is the number of cycles per second of sound waves?
what is being asked for in this question is "frequency(f)", but in order to answer to answer this question, there is need to know the velocity of this sound wave and its wave length. since there are non of these mentioned in the question, i will give my own values, let the velocity be 330m/s which is the speed of sound in air and let the wave length be 30m. therefore f=velocity/wave length: which gives f=330m per second/30m = 11 hertz
Does a translucent object let light pass through or does it scatter the light?
It scatters the light
Why is wood a good insulator?
It doesn't let heat through and it doesn't melt. It is hard to get electricity through which is good because it means it doesn't let heat through. It can let sound through but not heat.
What do opaque objects do?
Not let light through them :D
Can sounds from the past be heard from space just as we can see light from distant galaxies?
Sounds cannot be heard in space to begin with, so hearing any from anny time is impossible. Secondly, the energy in a mechanical wave such as sound is dispersed and transformed as the wave travels. After a while all of this energy is turned to heat, and the wave ceases to exist, so even if sound travelled through space, we would not hear it after only a few hours, let alone years or centuries as with light.

Does plastic let sound through it?
Yes, it does.
What is the mathematical formula to turn a particular sound frequency to a related color?
There are many possible formulas. The simplest would be to map the hearing range directly to the visible. The speed of sound in air is about 300 meters per second and the speed of light is about 3e8 meters per second. We can hear frequencies of 20 to 20,000 Hz, and that corresponds to wavelengths of 15 down to .015 meters. We can see wavelengths from 700 nanometers down to 400 nanometers. So a straight formula would be light wave length = 20e-9 * (sound wave length) + 399.7e-9 (in meters) sound wave length = 300 / (sound frequency in Hz) (in meters) Another way would be to compress the sound into octaves and let that be a linear mapping. This would be like assigning the keys on a piano to specific colors. A formula for that might be light wave length = 100 * (Log (sound wave length)) + 582.4 (in nanometers) (and I used the same formula for sound wave length above).

What is the motto of University of Washington North Sound?
The motto of University of Washington North Sound is 'Let there be light'.
What happens when you put light through a red and green filter?
it doesn't let light through
What does not let light through?
There are many materials that light can not travel through which are called opaque objects.
A material that does not let light through?
opaque.
What doesnt let light through?
Opaque

It scatters the light
