∙ 11y agoSound needs a medium to travel and thus is not a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Usually if it can travel through a vacuum its a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that you can actually see is called the spectrum?
No, its just visible light - light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is in the middle of it.
Are cosmic rays part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
no they are not. NASA suggests that the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation does not include cosmic rays.
Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency?
That would be sound waves, or the audio spectrum.
What does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum x-ray or sound or infrared ray or radio wave?
sound does not belong to the list.
Does energy make up sound?
Sound is energy. It is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why isn't sound a part of the em spectrum?
Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.

Are infrared waves sound waves?
No; sound is a mechanical wave, infrared is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Are sound waves part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Sound is composed of density waves in the air or some other form of matter. Sound is a mechanical compression-rarefaction wave. The different types of electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes what?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes electromagnetic waves with a continuous flow of the wavelength.
Electromagnetic waves are waves which can pass through a region where nothing exists such as outerspace which of the waves below is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound.
What wave is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound wave, waves on the surface of water, earthquake waves
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.

No, its just visible light - light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is in the middle of it.
Is a sound wave part of a electromagnetic spectrum?
No, a sound wave is not electromagnetic, it is a pressure wave in the air. The speed of propagation is about 1100 ft/second, so 1 mile in 5 seconds.
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?
I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
