The velocity of light in vacuum is a universal constant. A light year is the distance travelled at that velocity in one year. To define a sound year it would be necessary to also specify the precise characteristics of material it is being propagated through. A vacuum won't do, since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.

What ways in which sound behaves like light?

Sound, like light, can travel in waves through a medium. Both sound and light can reflect, refract, and diffract when encountering obstacles or different mediums. Additionally, both sound and light can be absorbed or transmitted through certain materials.


What things sound like light blue?

Some things that may sound like light blue are calming music, a gentle breeze through the trees, or the sound of ocean waves breaking on the shore.


What features of light corresponds to loudness in sound?

The intensity or amplitude of light corresponds to loudness in sound. Just like how a louder sound is produced by greater amplitude of sound waves, a brighter light is produced by a greater intensity of light waves.


Does light affect sound?

In general, light does not affect sound. Sound waves and light waves are different forms of energy that usually do not influence each other directly. However, extreme cases like laser-induced sound or photoacoustic effects can show interactions between light and sound.


How can you sound like Victoria Justice?

What do sound and light have in common?

they both can be reflected sound would be reflected as an echo and light like when you flash a flash light at a mirror


What does pan flute sound like?

Kind of like a piccolo and kind of like an orcania, but not the same.


Light is to reflect as sound is to what?

Sound is to echo. Just like light bounces off surfaces to reflect, sound waves can bounce off surfaces and repeat in an echo.


How do you turn light into sound?

Light can be turned into sound through a process called photoacoustic effect. This involves absorbing light energy and converting it into heat, which in turn causes the material to expand and create sound waves. Certain materials, like semiconductors, can efficiently convert light into sound through this mechanism.


Can light exist before sound?

Light can exist without sound. A fluorescent light is an example of this. But yes, light can exist before sound. Light and sound are created simultaneously by something like lightning. It's just that the light is propagated much faster than the sound. We all know that we see the flash of lightning before we hear the sound it makes, and we can "calculate" the distance to the bolt by simple mathematical means.


Does speed of sound travel faster than light waves through different mediums?

No. Sound travels slowly like a turtle, while light zips along like a rabbit.
