What else can I help you with?
How do you Compare and contrast light and sound energy?
Light energy consists of electromagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light, while sound energy consists of mechanical waves that travel at a much slower speed. Light energy does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound energy does. Light energy can travel through a vacuum, whereas sound energy cannot.
What are some similarities and differences between the light and sound waves?
Similarities: Both light and sound waves are forms of energy that travel in waves. They can both be reflected, refracted, and diffracted. Differences: Light waves can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves require a medium to travel through. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves.
How much energy does an infrared wave have?
There's no telling. Infra red waves aren't standardized and can be pretty much whatever in terms of energy.
What is the difference between light energy and radio wave energy?
Visible light and radio waves are both two types of the same radiation (electromagnetic waves). The difference is that visible light has a higher frequency; a higher energy per photon; and a smaller wavelength.
How much energy do raido waves have?
Radio waves have very low energy compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Their energy is typically measured in micro-electron volts (µeV), which is much lower than other forms of radiation such as visible light or X-rays. The energy of radio waves is typically insufficient to cause any ionization or chemical reactions in matter.
How are light waves different than radio waves?
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on our visual receptors. Radio waves have a much longer wavelength and not as much energy.
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on your visual receptors Radio waves have a much slower wavelength and not as much energy?
Radio Waves are lower frequency/longer wavelength. Don't know about energy level...
What radio waves are made of?
Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, similar to light, but of much longer wave lengths.
How do you Compare and contrast light and sound energy?
Light energy consists of electromagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light, while sound energy consists of mechanical waves that travel at a much slower speed. Light energy does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound energy does. Light energy can travel through a vacuum, whereas sound energy cannot.
What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?
Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.
Do electromagnetic waves have too much energy to be refracted?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.

What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
