No. Sound is a mechanical wave, not an EM 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.
Ultrasonic waves fall outside the traditional electromagnetic spectrum range, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by means of compression and rarefaction of the material.
No, sound is not an example of an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave that travels through a medium (such as air, water, or solids) by vibrating particles in the medium, while electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through a vacuum (like light) and do not require a medium for propagation.
A light wave is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
No, a sound wave is not an electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum and do not need a medium. Sound waves are disturbances in a medium caused by vibrations, while electromagnetic waves are fluctuations in electric and magnetic fields.
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave (such as sound or light) perceived by an observer when the source of the wave is moving relative to the observer. For example, a siren on a moving ambulance will sound higher in pitch as it approaches and then lower in pitch as it moves away due to the Doppler effect.
