Light can only travel through a transparent medium. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and gets slower the denser the material it is moving through. Sound gets faster the stifferthe material is but cannot move through a vacuum.
The states of matter make little difference to light. Only the opacity and density have any effect.
The states of matter do matter to sound. Air is less stiff than water, which is not as stiff as ice or steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 16 times faster than the speed of sound in air.
Light can travel through a vacuum as electromagnetic radiation, while sound requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate through. In solids, sound travels fastest due to particles being close together, while in gases, sound travels slower as particles are further apart. Light travels at the same speed in all states of matter.
Yes, light can travel through all states of matter - solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. However, the speed and interaction of light can vary based on the medium it is traveling through.
Light will travel fastest in a vacuum, which is a state where there are no particles to slow down its speed. In other states of matter like solids, liquids, and gases, the particles can interact with light and slow it down as it travels through the medium.
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel, while light can travel through a vacuum like space. Sound is a mechanical wave that needs particles to propagate, whereas light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through empty space due to its different nature.
A single ray of light can travel in infinitely many different directions.
Light is not matter because it does not have mass and does not take up physical space like matter does. Light consists of electromagnetic waves that travel at high speeds through space.

Different Colors Of Light Travel At Different Speeds.
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel, while light can travel through a vacuum like space. Sound is a mechanical wave that needs particles to propagate, whereas light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through empty space due to its different nature.
Light travels in the air phase of matter compared to the liquids and solids.
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
No. Light is a form of energy.
Light been found as electromagnetic wave does not need any material medium to get propagated. Even in free space (vacuum) it is able to travel.
Light. No ordinary matter can travel at or faster than the speed of light.
Sound waves have to go through a medium, or matter. Usually the medium is air, but they can go through any matter. Sound waves cannot exist in outer space because there is no matter for the wave to travel through. Sound waves travel at different speeds, depending on the medium. This is similar to light, because light slows down in mediums other than air (eg. water, crystal, ect.)
