How is light and sound alike?

Sound and light are alike when light is considered a wave. Light may also be considered a stream of particles, but in the times that it is considered a wave it obeys the same mathematical laws that sound does.


What are 3 ways that sound and light are alike?

Sound and light both travel in waves through a medium, such as air or water. Both sound and light can be reflected and refracted when they encounter different materials. They both have frequencies that determine their pitch (sound) or color (light).


How are light and sound wave alike?

Light and sound waves are found on the same spectrum. Both are types of waves, but light having a shorter wave length and a higher frequency, we can see light. Sound having a shorter wavelength means that we cannot see it with the naked eye


What are some ways sound sound are alike and different?

Sound and light are alike in that they both travel in waves, can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted, and both have frequencies and wavelengths. They are different in that sound requires a medium to travel through (such as air, water, or solid materials) while light can travel through a vacuum. Additionally, sound waves are longitudinal, with particles vibrating in the same direction as the wave, while light waves are transverse, with particles vibrating perpendicular to the direction of the wave.


In what ways are sound and light alike?

Sound and light are both forms of energy that travel in waves. They can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed by materials. Both sound and light can be used for communication and to provide information about the environment.

Is light and electromagnetic waves are alike?

Light is the visible form of electromagnetic waves.


Do light and sound both move in waves?

Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.

Are sound waves stronger than light waves?

No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull


Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?

Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.


Why are light and sound waves?

light and sound are in waves, because when a sound is made, such as a gun shot, the sound rips through the air in waves. as for light? noidea bro.
