What else can I help you with?
When a light ray and a sound wave have the same frequency which one has the longer wavelength?
The light wave has the longer wavelength. In the time required for one wiggle, it travels roughly 880,000 times farther than the sound wave does.
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of sound waves is more easily observed because sound waves have longer wavelengths compared to light waves. This allows sound waves to diffract around obstacles more effectively, producing noticeable effects like the bending of sound around corners or obstacles. Light waves, with their shorter wavelengths, tend to diffract less noticeably and require specific conditions to observe diffraction effects.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
Which has longer wavelength radio v light?
Radio waves have longer wavelengths than light waves. Radio waves can have wavelengths ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers, while visible light waves have wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers.
When a light ray and a sound wave have the same frequency which one has the longer wavelength?
The light wave has the longer wavelength. In the time required for one wiggle, it travels roughly 880,000 times farther than the sound wave does.
Are sound waves stronger than light waves?
No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull
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.
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?

Are infrared rays electromagnet waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible light rays?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.

Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible rays?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
What waves travel faster sound or light?
Light waves travel faster than sound waves.
