they travel in waves, they are discernable to a wide range of species and ....
They can both be analyzed as waves, but light is also a particle phenomenon. Sound must have a medium through which to travel; no medium, no sound. Light needs no medium through which to travel. Our experience of both sound and light can change by what is called the Doppler Effect; the frequency of the waves depends on the movement of the source relative to the observer. However, the waves of light themselves are always moving at c (in a vacuum) regardless of the movement of the source relative to the observer. Sound waves, on the other hand, do change speed depending on the relative movements of the source and observer. If the observer is moving through the air at a given velocity, some fraction of that velocity might be added to or subracted from the velocity of the observed sound.
No, sound is not faster than eyesight. Light travels faster than sound, with light moving at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, compared to sound traveling at 343 meters per second in the air at room temperature.
Light travels much faster than the speed of sound. Some high-speed aircraft can travel faster than the speed of sound, reaching supersonic speeds. Particle accelerators can propel particles to speeds faster than the speed of sound.
Both light waves and sound waves are forms of energy that travel in waves, they can be reflected, refracted and diffracted. Both can also exhibit properties like interference and polarization.
Light travels more quickly than sound or ripples on water. Sound typically travels at around 343 meters per second in air, while ripples on water travel at lower speeds depending on factors like the depth and temperature of the water. Light travels much faster, at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.
There are 3 homophones (sound-alike words):there - existence, or location (not here)their - possessive form of them and theythey're - contraction for "they are"
They are not alike, they are different, but they can be identical in value. Example :- 3/4 and 0.75 are different ways of expressing the same quantity and they are not alike at all.
Light is faster than sound.

1 sound can be loud 2 sound can be soft 3 there are many different types of sound 4 many things make sound 5 sound is made in different ways
The speed of light is 3*108 meters per second. The speed of sound I believe is 330 m/s. Light is actually electromagnetic radiation whereas sound waves are actually pressure disturbances in the air.
Radio, light, and sound.
