HOW ARE SOUND AND LIGHT WAVES ALIKE AND DIFFERENT?


short answer please

Answer 1

Answer: Sound and light are similar in that they both move in waves and are sources of energy. They have wavelength, frequency, and amplitude properties in common. Light can only travel through empty space, while sound can only travel through a medium (substance). Sound is a type of mechanical energy produced by matter vibrations.
