Are sound waves part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Answer 1

Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different.

Sound is composed of density waves in the air or some other form of matter.

Sound is a mechanical compression-rarefaction wave.

The different types of electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.

Answer 2

Sound does not fit well in the electromagnetic spectrum: Sound is a longitudinal wave mechanically propagating through a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma, but abhorring a vacuum, & oscillating 340.29 m/s in air; whereas waves within the electromagnetic spectrum, such as visible light are transverse waves generating electric and magnetic fields 90 degrees to each other, liking a vacuum, & trans-versing 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum.

Answer 3

No. Sound and electromagnetic waves are not related or connected in any way.

Answer 4

Sound is a mechanical vibration and not an electromagnetic one. The electromagnetic spectrum is reserved for electromagnetic waves and will not have a place for sound on it.

Answer 5

Ultrasound is part of the high frequency spectrum of electromagnetics. Ultrasound is part of the radio spectrum of Êearthly electromagnetism.

Answer 6

Yes, the audio spectrum of sound is in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Answer 7

sound wave is not a part of electromagnetic spectrum

Answer 8

No, a sound wave is not electromagnetic, it is a pressure wave in the air. The speed of propagation is about 1100 ft/second, so 1 mile in 5 seconds.
