What is the range of wavelengths of visible light How do these wavelengths compare with those of audible sound?
The range of wavelengths of visible light is approximately 380 to 750 nanometers (nm). In comparison, the wavelengths of audible sound typically range from about 1.7 centimeters (17,000 nm) for high frequencies to about 17 meters (17,000,000 nm) for low frequencies. Thus, visible light wavelengths are significantly shorter than those of audible sound, with light being several orders of magnitude smaller.
Is thunder visible?
Thunder itself is not visible. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning bolt. Lightning, on the other hand, is visible and is the actual electrical discharge that produces the light we see during a storm.
What is the difference between sound and visible light in their wave lenght?
The question makes little sense, but sound is a longitudinal wave, light is a transverse wave. Light avergaes around 500nm wavelength, sound audible to the human ear ranges from a few cm to 20m or so.
What is the ratio of frequency of visible light to frequency of audible sound?
The lowest frequency of visible light ... assume wavelength = 750 nm ...is around 400,000 GHz.The highest frequency of audible sound is around 20 KHz.So the smallest ratio ... lowest frequency of light to highest frequency of sound ...is 4 x 1014/2 x 104 = 20 billion .
Which two types of radation are not emitted by radioactive substances?
The two types of radiation that are not emitted by radioactive substances are electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light and sound waves. Radioactive substances primarily emit alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Visible light is not a product of radioactive decay, and sound waves do not arise from nuclear processes. Thus, both visible light and sound waves are not associated with radioactivity.
How do sound and visible light compare in origin?
light is faster than the space shuttle but sound isn't. that's why you hear a sonic boom. Also you usually see lightning before you hear thunder.

How does the frequency of light compare to the frequency of sound?
-- The highest frequency of sound audible to the human ear is of the order of 20,000 Hz.-- The lowest frequency of light visible to the human eye is of the order of 375,000,000,000,000 Hz.
Are visible light waves the same as sound waves?
No.
Is visible light a type of sound?
no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air
What are the rang of nonvisible light?
I wasn't aware that non-visible light made a sound...
Why is it that lightning travels faster than sound?
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.

Sound isn't. The others are.
