What are 3 types of waves that can be reflected?
Light waves: when light hits a smooth surface, it can be reflected. Sound waves: sound can bounce off hard surfaces such as walls, resulting in reflection. Water waves: waves in the ocean or a pond can be reflected off a barrier or shore.
What are 3 ways that sound and light are alike?
Sound and light both travel in waves through a medium, such as air or water. Both sound and light can be reflected and refracted when they encounter different materials. They both have frequencies that determine their pitch (sound) or color (light).
Compare and contrast light and sound waves?
Comparison:Both light waves and sound waves are a method of energy transfer.Both types of waves change their speed when traveling through various media.Contrast:Light waves are electromagnetic waves, and do not require a medium (matter) in order to travel. Sound waves MUST have a medium in order to travelThe speed of a light wave is faster than the speed of a sound wave.Light waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
What are the 3 similarities and 3 differences between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves?
Here are the 3 similarities and 3 differences between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves: Similarities: Both types of waves transfer energy from one place to another. Both types of waves can be described in terms of wavelength and frequency. Both types of waves can exhibit properties like reflection, refraction, and interference. Differences: Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves are caused by the vibration of particles in the medium, while electromagnetic waves are produced by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields. Mechanical waves typically have lower speeds than electromagnetic waves, which travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
What are the 3 types of waves that can be reflected?
The three types of waves that can be reflected are radio waves, light waves, and sound waves. Reflection occurs when a wave encounters a boundary and bounces back without entering the medium on the other side.
What are 3 catigories of waves?
water waves, light waves, and sound waves

How does light travel through AVACUUM?
Light waves do not need a medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot travel without a medium. Light waves always travel at the speed of light that is 3*108m/s.
What are 3 things that travel in waves even through space?
Radio, light, and sound.

Which travel faster than light or sound waves?
Which of them travel faster - light or sound waves? Light waves travel in vacuum with the speed of light c = 299792458 m/s or 983571056 ft/s. Sound waves travel at 20°C (68°F) with the speed of sound c = 343 m/s or 1125.33 ft/s. So light travels 874,030 times faster than sound. Don't forget that sound needs necessarily air as a medium. Light does not need a medium; vacuum is O

What are 3 mediums that can carry sound waves?
Earth, air, and water can carry sound waves.
Sounds need these in order to travel?
Sounds need a medium to travel, such as air, water, or solid materials. As sound waves pass through the medium, they cause particles to vibrate, transmitting the sound energy from one point to another. Without a medium, such as in a vacuum, sound waves cannot travel.
Similarities of sound and light waves?
Similarities 1. They are the basis of the two most important human senses 2. Each frequency is associated with a unique sensation (red or green, C or E) 3. There is a range outside which humans are not able to detect them (infrared and ultraviolet, infrasound and ultrasound) Differences 1.-Sound is a longitudinal wave, light is a transversal wave (sound has no polarization, light do have it) 2.-Sound is a pressure wave, sound is a electromagnetic wave (sound needs matter to propagate, light can propagate in a vacuum) 3. From the human point of view, wavelength of sound is relatively large while wavelength of light is relatively small (diffraction of sound is stronger than diffraction of light, so sound can get around obstacles while light seems to travel in a straight line). 4. Two frequencies of sound are heard as separate components of a chord. Two frequencies of light are confused in a sensation similar to a third non-existent frequency (C,E and G are heard as the C major chord, red and green are seen as yellow) 5.-We are able to perceive the direction from which a sound come only in an unidimensional (horizontal) dimension. We are able to perceive the direction from which a light come in a bidimensional map (an image). It is seems to me that differences are more interesting than similarities. LydiaAC Mexicali B.C.
