Light and sound both move in waves. Light is much faster than sound. Light waves are smaller than sound waves.

Does both motives and emotions move us toward stimulus?

Motives are internal factors that drive our behavior towards a goal, while emotions are affective responses to stimuli. Both can influence our responses to stimuli, with motives shaping our goal-directed behaviors and emotions providing the intensity or valence to those responses.


What does that mean if a guy keeps looking at you till you look back and waves at you by being cool a few seconds after you wave at him?

He is trying to make himself seem cool. He wants to talk, but is too shy to make the first move. Go say hi!


Why human is comparing to school of fishes?

Humans are compared to schools of fish because both demonstrate collective behavior where individuals work together in a coordinated manner. Just like fish in a school move together to improve their chances of survival, humans often work together in groups to achieve common goals and enhance their overall well-being. This analogy highlights the importance of teamwork, coordination, and cooperation in both species.


How do I get over someones past?

It can be challenging to accept someone's past, but it's important to focus on the present and future of your relationship. Communication is key—talk with the person about your feelings and concerns, and work together to build trust and understanding. Remember that everyone has a past and that what matters most is how you both choose to move forward together.


What does flinched mean?

when your eyes blink and they flicker on and off like a light bulb, you usually flinch when someone try's to punch you or through something at you.

How does light waves compare with sound waves?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.


Which travels sound or light?

Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.


How can light waves move through space?

Light waves, unlike sound, do not require a medium.


How do light and sound transfer from one place to another?

Both light and sound inhabit frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. Additionally, both move as waves (think waves on a beach), and light moves also as a particle. As waves, both transmit radiant energy, that with a sufficient medium (gas or liquid for sound--light only requires clear transmission lines) allow the energy to move from transmission site to reception site. Light, moving as a particle also transfers kinetic energy--a minute amount, but enough to actually move very large objects given lack of resistance (think solar sail). So, let's review: sound and light move as waves. Light moves also as a particle (wavicle). Both transfer radiant energy generally by exciting molecules. Light also transfers kinetic energy via the collision of photons (that particle) with other matter.


Can sound waves be seen?

No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.


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


Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?

An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.


Can sound waves move objects?

No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.


What are the similarities between ripples in water and electromagnetic waves?

The basic similarities between light and sound include the idea that both move in waves. They have frequency, or wavelength (as they are inverses of each other). They also have speeds of propagation that vary according to the materials through which are propagating.


Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?

No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.


What are similarities and differences between a sound waves and water waves in terms of medium?

Similarities: Both sound waves and water waves require a medium (air for sound waves, water for water waves) to propagate. They both travel in a wave-like motion, transferring energy without the physical movement of the medium. Differences: Sound waves are longitudinal waves that move through compression and rarefaction of molecules in the medium, while water waves are transverse waves that move through the oscillation of water particles. Sound waves propagate through air or solids, while water waves propagate through liquids.
