How does sound and visible light compare to origin?

Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel through, while visible light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves travel slower than light waves and are typically experienced as pressure variations, while light waves travel much faster and are perceived as color. Both sound and light waves are forms of energy that propagate in waves.
