Which model of light states that light travels in a series of waves?
The wave theory of light is the idea, supported by a number of scientists over the years, that light behaves as waves. It has been superseded by Quantum theory, which says (in part) that light sometimes behaves like a particle and sometimes like a wave.
Does Light travels in waves and sound is a form of energy that travels in mechanical waves through a medium?
Sound is a form of energy that travels "through" a mechanical medium. Light can be modelled as waves in certain circumstances. No mechanical medium is detectable, so either there is no medium, or the medium also propagates all matter the same way (Lorentz aether). The photoelectric effect shows that, just like sound is just motions of particles, so is light. electromagnetic
Can electromagnetic waves can behave like what type of particles?
blah blah blah
How come light travels in straight lines but radio waves spread out?
Light and Radio Waves are both forms of Electromagnetic radiation, and propagate at c (that is, the speed of light, 3*10^8m/s). Both light and radio waves can travel in straight lines, or by spreading out, depending on how they are made. For example, a radio dish and a light bulb can both spread out light and radio waves in 360 degrees.
Electrons behave like what?
Electrons behave like waves and particles this is characterised by the wave side in the Bohr model and can be diffracted yet it will collide with other particles.
How are light waves different than other waves?
Light waves are waves but behave like a particle. They are also mass less.
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.
How does UV travel through the atmosphere?
Like all light UV travels in waves

Does speed of sound travel faster than light waves through different mediums?
No. Sound travels slowly like a turtle, while light zips along like a rabbit.

Why do some clouds look pink?
Sun light travels greater distance through atmosphere at dusk than it would if its shining directly above the head . As light (mixture of different colors) travels through the atmosphere other colors (shorter light waves like blue) scatter away and you receive what is left - longer light waves of red.
Unless a hypothesis can be found to be false it is not a scientific inquiry?
I have an hypothesis that light waves are made up of particles. This is a valid scientific inquiry yet it cannot be proved false, because under certain circumstances, light waves behave like particles.
Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?
Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.
How are sound and light energy alike?
Sound is made out of waves and Light is made out of things called wave-particles and are kind of like waves, but not always. But if you mean Sound energy and Light energy I don't really know wat you mean with Sound energy
How do sound waves behave like the waves in spring toys?
they are different by the way they behave and the way it is different is one behaves like they should and the other one behaves bad.
Can electromagnetic waves can behave like what type of particles?
blah blah blah
