It is different because sound vibrates and light reflects
Light is electrical energy and sound is mechanical energy.
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
Sound and light are VERY Different. They are both waves... But light can travel through a vacuum and sound requires a medium (matter... Ex. air or water) to travel through. Also they are 2 different kinds of waves (Light~ Transverse, and Sound~ Longitudinal) Though there are some similarities. Both are waves. Therefore they have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes, and speeds. They both can be measured also.
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
Light is about 800,000 faster (compared to the speed of sound in air).
Light is faster than sound.
Write down different properties of light and sound?
Different wavelengths and frequencies of light are interpreted as different colours; those of sound are interpreted as pitch.

no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air
Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.
Sound is the vibration of molecules and atoms. Light is made up of things called "light quanta" or "photons." This means that sound cannot travel through a vacuum (there are obviously no molecules or atoms in a vacuum to transmit sound) but light can.

sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
The light shown by the flash travels at the speed of light, while sound waves travels slower. It is the different speeds of light and sound that causes sound to be heard after seeing the flash.
No. Sound is a completely and totally different phenomenon from light. Other things that are very much like light are . . . Radio signals Heat from the sun "UV" (ultraviolet) X-rays Gamma rays from space Sound is a completely different animal.
light has properties of both a wave and a particle whereas sound travels exclusively as a waves. i think Einstein did some work with light waves
