What is an explanation of how energy travels in waves to produce light and sound?
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
Can light waves carry sound?
No, light waves cannot carry sound. Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, to propagate, while light can travel through a vacuum. Light waves and sound waves are two different types of waves that behave differently.
Can light waves and sound waves interfere with each other if yes why?
No, light waves and sound waves cannot interfere with each other because they are different types of waves that travel through different mediums and have distinct properties. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can interfere with each other, but they do not interfere with sound waves because sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel through.
Can sound bend light?
No, sound cannot bend light. Sound and light are two different types of waves with distinct properties and behaviors. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium to travel through, like air or water, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.
How do sound and light waves differ in terms of their propagation through different mediums?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through, while light waves can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves travel slower than light waves and can be absorbed or reflected by different materials, while light waves can pass through most materials without being absorbed.
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land

How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".

Among sound waves light waves X rays Gamma rays and radio waves what is fundamentally different from the others?
Sound wave.

What is a way light and sound are different?
light has properties of both a wave and a particle whereas sound travels exclusively as a waves. i think Einstein did some work with light waves
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.
Does sound wave travel through light wave?
Sound Waves and Light Waves are different. The following are the differences I am aware of:Velocity: Light Waves travel through air and empty space at a speed of approximately 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second. Sound waves travel through air at the speed of approximately 1,100 feet per second or 330 meters per second.Wave Type: Sound Waves are longitudinal in nature whereas Light waves are transverse in nature.Light Waves can travel through vacuum whereas Sound cannot.Hope this helps.
Are radio waves light sound waves?
Light isanalogous in many ways to sound and many of the equations used to describe sound also apply to light, but there are limitations. Sound waves don't really polarize the way light waves do for example. Light also displays some characteristics of particle behavior that contradict its wave behavior - again making it different from sound.
