What are the similarities in which sound and light rays travels?

Both sound and light rays travel in waves, can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, and absorbed by materials. They both obey the laws of physics and can be described by principles such as frequency, wavelength, and speed.


What can travel in a vacuum?

Light or radioactive particles. They uses electro magnetic radiation as a medium for them to travel through, Waves like sound can not travel through vacuum because they need physical mediums like air.


Is sound wave a kind of light?

No. Sound is a completely and totally different phenomenon from light. Other things that are very much like light are . . . Radio signals Heat from the sun "UV" (ultraviolet) X-rays Gamma rays from space Sound is a completely different animal.


Which are not able to travel through empty space?

Sound waves and mechanical waves (such as seismic waves) are not able to travel through empty space because they require a medium, like air or water, to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light, X-rays, and radio waves, can travel through empty space because they do not need a medium to propagate.


Why do gamma rays travel farthest through matter?

Gamma rays travel the farthest through matter because they have the highest energy and shortest wavelength among electromagnetic radiation, allowing them to penetrate more deeply. Their high energy and lack of charge make them less likely to interact with atoms in the material, resulting in greater penetration capabilities.

Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?

No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.


What kind of waves travel through matter?

Sound waves and gamma rays.

What is are fighter rays?

The galaxy police force, which is charged with protecting humankind, patrols the galaxy in fighter rays. Fighter rays are equipped with lasers and electromagnetic shields, these slick vehicles travel at four times the speed of sound.


What are mechanical rays?

Rays which need a medium to travel.


What effect does the material in which light rays travel on the rays?

It changes the speed of the rays

What does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum x-ray or sound or infrared ray or radio wave?

Sound does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum as it is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate, unlike x-rays, infrared rays, and radio waves which are forms of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum.


How do rays travel?

through matter


Why do gamma rays travel at the speed of light?

Gamma rays travel at the speed of light because both light and gamma rays are variants of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation.
