light and sound do not have mass. Light is electromagnetic wave transverse in nature. Sound is longitudinal wave. But sound needs material medium so it is mechanical wave.
Moreover matter is the one which occupies the space. But waves do not occupy but traverse in space. Electromagnetic waves don't need material medium, but sound waves do need a material medium.
False physics to assume that light has no mass. Energy = mc^2 =hf=cp. Light has energy and momentum. p=h/w =mv.

Is light and sound is matter?
Matter has to have mass, and you are not able to collect light and sound and find out the mass.
Is flame considered a matter?
Flame cannot be considred as matter exactly. It is combination of light and heat, which originate due to the combustion of matter at that point.
Does thunder come before lightning?
Yes; light travels faster than sound. Sound is vibrational mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a wave and light, or visible light, is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye. Sound must travel through matter to be perceived by the human ear. Light does NOT.
How do scientists define matter?
Matter must have mass and volume, and occupy space. There are things like light and sound that are said to have no matter.
Which travels sound or light?
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
Why light sound and energy are not considered to be matter?
Sort of. Light and sound are forms of energy, which according to Einstein, is a form of matter ( E=mc2). For most purposes, though, energy isn't really matter. moreover , light and sound is energy not matter because it is the massless particle..!
Is the sound considered as a matter?
Is sound considered as matter? No, matter is composed of atoms and particles, and sound is a perceptible motion (vibration) of material things.
Is light and sound matter?
no light and sound is energy not matter because it is the massless partical.
What type af matter are sound and light?
sound and light aren't types of matter
Is sound considered matter?
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
Why sound is not considered matter?
Sound has no mass. Without matter, there can be no sound. Sound is information which is carried on a wave that moves through matter.
Which one travels through matter only light or sound?
Sound requires matter as sound is the vibration of matter. Light is more complex as it is the giving off of photons from atoms.
Is sound and light made up of matter?
Sound cannot be matter as we can not see sound and it has no mass or volume.
Why light matter?
Light and sound are not matter. Unlike air, they have no mass or volume.
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.
Is light and sound is matter?
Matter has to have mass, and you are not able to collect light and sound and find out the mass.
What kinds of things are not matter?
stuff such as sound and light, as sound and light has no volume nor mass.
