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.
What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?
When light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions, it is called light scattering. This can occur when light interacts with particles or objects and is redirected in multiple directions.
Who was the first to discover light waves?
James Clerk Maxwell formulated the theory of electromagnetic radiation in the 19th century, which included the concept of light waves. However, the phenomenon of light waves was observed and studied by many scientists before him, such as Christian Huygens and Thomas Young.
What are electromagnetic waves also called?
Light is what we usually think of when talking about electromagnetic waves, but in reality they include many other types or radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, UV rays, X-rays, and even gamma rays.See the Related Questions and Web Links for more information.
What does the word medium refer to in terms of lights and waves?
actually light is nothing but combination of so many Waves. so we can say that light and waves are not different things that means if a light can move through a medium we an say that the waves an also move through that so medium refers the same meaning both in terms of light and waves
How many times do waves vibrate in 2 seconds?
Hundred times
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.

Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
What waves are used in communication?
Many different types can be:sound waves in airelectrical waves in wireselectromagnetic waves (e.g. radio, microwave, infrared, visible light)etc.
What kind of scientist describes time travel and the behavior of light waves?
I am not sure that there are many scientists who describe time travel. those that describe light waves are physicists.
How do physics waves affect color?
There are many types of waves covered by physics. Only electromagnetic waves in the visible light band have the property that we call "color".

A certain color of light has a frequency of 650000000000000 cycles per second How many waves of this light pass by in one second?
If the frequency of the light is 650000000000000 cycles per second, then 650000000000000 waves of this light pass by in one second.
