Answer:

The "particles" of light are called photons and have no mass. In contrast, matter is made up of particles that do have mass. Sound is a little different in that it is the propagation of a pressure wave through a medium of particles. Since it is a wave, it is not considered a form of matter.(scienceline.com)
