change places.
Light waves and X-ray waves need to change
places
Ocean waves and X-ray waves need to change
places.
Sound waves and light waves need to change
places.

Answer 1

Answer: Sound waves and light waves need to change

Explanation:-

Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum. electromagnetic waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They all travel with the speed of light.The energy transport through a medium involves the absorption and re emission of the wave energy by the atoms of the material. Example: Light waves, X rays, Radiation waves

Mechanical waves require a medium to travel so that they can transport their energy from one location to another. Example: Ocean waves, sound waves , Earthquake waves

Thus light waves are electromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves and thus should exchange places.

Answer 2

Sound waves and light waves need to change places.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum has 7 different types of waves with wave different wave lengths and frequencies. They include radio waves, micro waves, infrared eradication, visible light, ultraviolet, xrays, and gamma rays. They do not require a medium of air or water. Mechanical waves need air and water to spread.
