Refraction of a sound wave occurs when a wave passes at an angle from one medium into another in which the of the wave is different?
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when it passes through media with different densities, causing a change in its speed and direction. This change in speed leads to the bending of the sound wave at the interface between the two media.
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Which physical quantity remain unchanged when light and sound passes through medium?
Its FREQUENCY remains the same. Remember that when sound waves travel from air to water, its frequency remains the same, which is why people do not seem to have higher or lower voices under water. However the amplitude and velocity do change if it is a sound wave.
What will light travel through that sound won't?
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, whereas sound needs a medium, such as air, water, or solids to propagate. This is because light is an electromagnetic wave, while sound is a mechanical wave that needs particles to vibrate and transfer energy.
Sound is example of what wave?
Sound is an example of a mechanical wave, which requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. It consists of compressions and rarefactions that transmit energy through the medium.
What type of wave makes up sound waves?
longitudinal wave formed due to compressions and rarefractions of media through which sound is propogating
What lets sound or light wave through?
vaccum chamber
How are sound and light different in terms of the waves?
A light wave is priamrily energy, unless you get in to real high-end physice, in which case you can consider a particle. The light wave, being considered energy, can be drawn with the wave amplitude at right abgles to the direction of tarvel, rather like a wave on the sea. A sound wave is a motion through the air (or other media), where the actual media travels. it is actually compressed, and the movement of particles is in the same direction (longitudinal) as the path of the waves. In most cases (for physics) they can actually be considered the same, and the same equations apply to most situations, regardless of if the wave is light, sound, or a wave on the sea.

Is sound an example of an electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a longitudinal wave consisting of mechanical vibrations travelling through matter (solid , liquid, gas, etc). An electromagnetic wave (light) is, classically, a transversely oscillating electric and magnetic field and requires no medium in order to travel.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
Does a sound wave or a light wave travel faster through a solid?
A sound wave. This is because the sound wave is transverse meaning it needs a medium to travel through. Most solids will block visible light but not other types of light. The solid works best for the transverse because the atoms are close together making it easy to transfer the wave through the material.
What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
