How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
How are light and sound alike?
Sound and light are VERY Different. They are both waves... But light can travel through a vacuum and sound requires a medium (matter... Ex. air or water) to travel through. Also they are 2 different kinds of waves (Light~ Transverse, and Sound~ Longitudinal) Though there are some similarities. Both are waves. Therefore they have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes, and speeds. They both can be measured also.
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
Whats faster sound or light?
Light is about 800,000 faster (compared to the speed of sound in air).
Is light or sound faster?
Light is faster than sound.
The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?
Timbre is the quality in sound that corresponds to color in light. Just as different colors in light can create different visual impressions, different timbres in sound create different auditory impressions.
What results from wavelengths and frequencies of light and sound?
Wavelengths and frequencies of light determine the color and intensity of light. For sound, wavelengths and frequencies determine the pitch and volume of the sound.
What result from wavelengths and frequencies of light and sound?
Different wavelengths and frequencies of light are interpreted as different colours; those of sound are interpreted as pitch.
Is visible light a type of sound?
no, sound and light are very different Sound is a vibration in air, light is a particle called a photon moving through the air
How are sound and light forms of energy different?
Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.
How is light different from sound?
Sound is the vibration of molecules and atoms. Light is made up of things called "light quanta" or "photons." This means that sound cannot travel through a vacuum (there are obviously no molecules or atoms in a vacuum to transmit sound) but light can.
How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
Does light affect sound?
In general, light does not affect sound. Sound waves and light waves are different forms of energy that usually do not influence each other directly. However, extreme cases like laser-induced sound or photoacoustic effects can show interactions between light and sound.
When a gun is fired its sound his heard a little after seeing its flash?
The light shown by the flash travels at the speed of light, while sound waves travels slower. It is the different speeds of light and sound that causes sound to be heard after seeing the flash.
What ways in which sound behaves like light?
Sound, like light, can travel in waves through a medium. Both sound and light can reflect, refract, and diffract when encountering obstacles or different mediums. Additionally, both sound and light can be absorbed or transmitted through certain materials.
How is the violin different from any other instrument?
it's different bcuz it plays a very light sound and no other instrument has a sound like it.
