Write down different properties of light and sound?

Light: travels in straight lines, can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed, has a constant speed in a vacuum. Sound: travels in waves, requires a medium to propagate, can be reflected, refracted, or diffracted, its speed depends on the medium through which it travels.


In what direction does light travel?

It travels in straight lines, However light cannot pass through walls, such as sound.


What is the difference between light and sound?

Light and sound are both forms of energy, but they travel in different ways. Light travels in straight lines as electromagnetic waves, while sound travels as mechanical waves through a medium like air or water. Light can travel through a vacuum, but sound needs a medium to propagate. Additionally, light travels much faster than sound, with a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, while sound travels at a speed of about 1,125 feet per second in air.


What is wrong a sound travels in a straight line b sound travels as a wave c sound is a form of energy d sound travels faster in vacuum than in air?

A is wrong. B is right C is right D is wrong A: Sound travels as a wave, therefore it does not travel in a straight line. B: Sound travels in a wave. C: The sound wave is a form of energy; all waves are. D: Sound cannot travel in a vaccuum. A is not entirely wrong.


How does sound travel, and does it travel in a straight line?

Sound travels through a medium, such as air or water, by creating vibrations that move in all directions. These vibrations can bounce off surfaces and change direction, so sound does not always travel in a straight line.

Does color travel in waves?

No it doesn't. Sound travels in waves, but light tavels in straight lines.

What helps to show light rays travel in straight lines?

To remember this think of you are looking directly at a building a car crash happens behind this building. You know this from the sound produced that can travel in all directions past the building. You cannot see it because as light dose not bend under normal circumstances and will only travel in straight lines. Even if reflected using a combination of mirrors it still travels in straight lines.

If someone is a knot in your stethoscope will it affect the sound?

No, the sound is bouncing not following a straight line.


What type of sound travels through water?

All types of sound - whether or not it can be heard by someone underwater is rather the question.

What travels about a million times faster that sound and air?

Do you mean 'than' instead of 'that' ? Well if you do, I think the answer is LIGHT. Light travels in straight lines and as far as I'm concerned it moves faster than anything. I know this is a very short question, but the answer is simple. If you ask 'why' you can just search light and you will be able to find out why.
