How is light and sound alike?
Sound and light are alike when light is considered a wave. Light may also be considered a stream of particles, but in the times that it is considered a wave it obeys the same mathematical laws that sound does.
What are some ways sound sound are alike and different?
Sound and light are alike in that they both travel in waves, can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted, and both have frequencies and wavelengths. They are different in that sound requires a medium to travel through (such as air, water, or solid materials) while light can travel through a vacuum. Additionally, sound waves are longitudinal, with particles vibrating in the same direction as the wave, while light waves are transverse, with particles vibrating perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What is the lowest point on a Sound or light wave?
The lowest point on a sound wave is the trough, which represents the lowest amplitude or pressure point in the wave. In a light wave, the lowest point is the trough as well, representing the lowest intensity or energy level of the wave.
How are earthquake sound light waves alike?
Earthquake sound waves and light waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves. However, earthquake sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum. Both types of waves can be characterized by their wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
Timbre is the quality in sound that corresponds to color in light. Just as different colors in light can create different visual impressions, different timbres in sound create different auditory impressions.

What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Are light radio and sound transverse waves?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Can you make a sound wave at a high enough frequency to convert it into light?
First of all, a sound wave is not a light wave. The frequency is not the only difference - it is quite a different type of wave. A wound wave might somehow INDUCE the creation of light waves (I don't know, it is just a possibility), but the sound wave ITSELF will not become a light wave. Second, the frequencies of light are extremely high; I am not sure whether sound can made at such frequencies.
Which of the following is not a transverse wave sound or radio wave or light or all of the above or none of the above?
Sound.
What is the lowest point on a Sound or light wave?
The lowest point on a sound wave is the trough, which represents the lowest amplitude or pressure point in the wave. In a light wave, the lowest point is the trough as well, representing the lowest intensity or energy level of the wave.
What is the difference between light band sound?
Easy. Light is a wave you can see, sound is a wave you can hear. B.T.W. light travels 186000 miles per second, and sound at 678.2.
How are sound and wave alike?
Both travel in waves but and come out from all directions if the souce other than that nit very much alike as sound waves are vibrations
What afre not transveres wave radio waves infrared wave sound wave visible light?
Sound isn't. The others are.
How are sound and light forms of energy different?
Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.
