In one way they are.
They both travel.
sound travels lets say from your mouth to the teachers ear.
and light travels from the lightbulb in the flashlight to the wall in the living room.
Sound is the vibration in a material. It decays away. Speed of sound, approximately 600 miles per hour (I don't remember the exact number)
Light is an form of energy and can occur in a vacuum as in space. Speed of light 186,000 miles per second.
What else can I help you with?
How does waves act?
Waves transfer energy without permanently displacing the medium through which they travel. They can exhibit properties like reflection, refraction, and interference, depending on the medium they are passing through. Waves can be categorized as mechanical waves, like sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves.
Does a light wave act like a moving particle?
No, a light wave does not act like a moving particle. Light waves exhibit properties of both waves and particles, known as wave-particle duality. In certain experiments, light behaves more like a wave, while in others, it behaves more like a particle.
What is the act of receiving sound called?
The act of receiving sound is called hearing. It involves the perception of sound waves through the ears and processing this information in the brain.
What acts as a funnel for sound waves?
A horn or megaphone can act as a funnel for sound waves, amplifying and directing them in a specific direction. This is achieved by gradually narrowing the opening of the device, which helps to focus and project the sound waves more effectively.
Is water a reflector?
Water can act as a reflector for light waves due to its smooth surface and high density. When light hits the surface of water at an angle, it can reflect and create mirror-like reflections.

What are two things light acts like?
In some ways light act like waves, in others like particles.
How does light act like wave?
That means that light exhibits some of the phenomena that are typical for waves, such as diffraction and interference.

Why is sound not able to travel in a vacuum?
Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.

What is the act of sending or throwing out as in light from the sun?
That act is called "radiation." Radiation refers to the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles, such as light from the sun.

Water can act as a reflector for light waves due to its smooth surface and high density. When light hits the surface of water at an angle, it can reflect and create mirror-like reflections.
How do drums sound in space?
Most likely gravity believe it or not, the sound waves travel differently :)
How do light waves act when it hits different materials?
It depends if it is a transparent object it may split the light and make colors, like what a crystal does. You can see colors because of whatever the light shines on, it does NOT attract the color you see. (don't know how to say that...)
