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.
