What media can let sound or light wave through?

Materials such as air, water, glass, and certain metals can allow sound or light waves to pass through them. These materials are known for their transparent or translucent properties, which enable the transmission of sound or light.


What lets light and sound waves through?

Transparent materials like glass and water allow light waves to pass through, while air and other gases let sound waves pass through. Materials that are opaque, like wood and metal, block both light and sound waves.


Can a sound wave kill a person?

A sound wave can kill a person because let's say its too loud yes it can because the pressure between the person and the sound wave is too much and is it explodes you ears that make your brain go out of function


Both sound and light transfer energy in this way?

Both sound and light travel in wave but they do not transfer energy in the same way. Sound travels through a medium but light does not. Sound energy comes from the vibration of the medium's particles eg when we hear a noise it is the vibration of the air particles that in turn vibrate our ear drum that transfers the information to our brain. Sound can travel through water or steel but not through a vacuum. Light does not need a medium in which to travel. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy comes from the frequency of the radiation. pucktana new zealand


How do opaque materials let light through them?

Opaque materials do not let light pass through them; they block or absorb light instead. This is because the atoms and molecules in opaque materials are closely packed together, preventing light from passing through the material.

Can sounds from the past be heard from space just as we can see light from distant galaxies?

Sounds cannot be heard in space to begin with, so hearing any from anny time is impossible. Secondly, the energy in a mechanical wave such as sound is dispersed and transformed as the wave travels. After a while all of this energy is turned to heat, and the wave ceases to exist, so even if sound travelled through space, we would not hear it after only a few hours, let alone years or centuries as with light.


Does plastic let sound through it?

Yes, it does.


What is the scientific name for a object that does not let light through?

The scientific term for an object that does not let light through is "opaque." Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them and therefore block the transmission of light.


What is the motto of University of Washington North Sound?

The motto of University of Washington North Sound is 'Let there be light'.


What does not let light through?

There are many materials that light can not travel through which are called opaque objects.

it doesn't let light through

What is the mathematical formula to turn a particular sound frequency to a related color?

There are many possible formulas. The simplest would be to map the hearing range directly to the visible. The speed of sound in air is about 300 meters per second and the speed of light is about 3e8 meters per second. We can hear frequencies of 20 to 20,000 Hz, and that corresponds to wavelengths of 15 down to .015 meters. We can see wavelengths from 700 nanometers down to 400 nanometers. So a straight formula would be light wave length = 20e-9 * (sound wave length) + 399.7e-9 (in meters) sound wave length = 300 / (sound frequency in Hz) (in meters) Another way would be to compress the sound into octaves and let that be a linear mapping. This would be like assigning the keys on a piano to specific colors. A formula for that might be light wave length = 100 * (Log (sound wave length)) + 582.4 (in nanometers) (and I used the same formula for sound wave length above).
