Do light waves act like sound waves?
In one way they are.They both travel.sound travels lets say from your mouth to the teachers ear.and light travels from the lightbulb in the flashlight to the wall in the living room.Sound is the vibration in a material. It decays away. Speed of sound, approximately 600 miles per hour (I don't remember the exact number)Light is an form of energy and can occur in a vacuum as in space. Speed of light 186,000 miles per second.
How is sound energy different from light?
Light energy can heat things and brighten up the object by reflecting light waves of it.Sound energy lets us hear what is around us. Sound waves can also be used to vibrate atoms and cause extreme heat..... which is what a microwave uses, a microwave send out strong radio waves that force the atoms to rub together to make heat (friction)That is also why not to leave a mobile phone on top of a microwave while it is on.I hope this answer has been of any use.
What do you call an object that lets no light pass through?
An object that lets no light pass through is called opaque.
Does sound transfer momentum?
Sound is the propagation of acoustic energy through a medium such as air or water. Although the energy propagates as waves, like light or other electromagnetic energy, acoustic energy is ''mechanical'' energy. Unlike light, where the waves can also be interpreted as particles, sound waves propagate through the oscillation of particles in a medium. The individual particles of air or water don't actually move very far, they just oscillate in place carrying the sound wave further to the next particles ahead. This is why sound doesn't propagate in a vaccuum but light does; sound requires a medium of particles to propagate the acoustic energy while light sort of propagates itself. Although the individual particles propagating the sound wave have mass and momentum while they're in motion, the wave itself has no momentum. So sound waves don't have a dual nature. However, you can transfer energy with sound--and do work--because the individual particles have energy and momentum as they oscillate. Air molecules inside your ear set into motion by the energy of an acoustic wave hit your eardrum and transfer their momentum to it which cause it to vibrate, which lets you hear the sound. Acoustic energy has even been used to levitate small objects against gravity--but you need a very loud sound to do that. You can find out more about this by searching the web for "acoustic levitation".
When a material is not see-through and lets no light through at all it is said to be?
opaque.
What lets sound or light wave through?
vaccum chamber
Why is the sky not purple?
earth's atmosphere lets through nearly all waves of light BUT blue wavelengths.

Say true or false. all waves are traveling disturbances that carry energy from place to place?
It is true. A wave is a disturbance through space or time that carrys energy. For example, lets say sound waves. A sound wave carrys the energy (sound) to you.

How can sound be muffled?
Sounds can be muffled when something intercepts the sound wave (lets say a blanket) and the sound waves can only get through a little bit. You can't hear the sound clearly but can still hear it, so it is muffled!
The reason for this is that when the ball inside the bell hits the sides of the bell the bell vibrates and lets off a jingle sound this sound flows through the air and enters your ears.?
the sound particles travel in waves and enters your ears

What light waves lets you see a sharp clear image of yourself in the water?
reflection
Does sound like light in passing from water to air?
Yes, the sound like the light is refracted and distorted. just like the broken spoon in a glass of water, sound waves under water are broken. Sound traveling from the air to the water are bent and scrambled, but lets say that the spoon was completely in the water, then it appear perfectly normal. so if the sound originated from the water then it would remain undistorted.
What is a solid that lets light travel through?
Glass
What is the name for something that lets light through?
Transparent
