   What is the difference between sound waves and light waves?

   • sound waves are longitudinal and light waves are transverse. light travels much faster than sound. light can travel through a vacuum but sound cannot as there are no air particles. light is an electromagnetic wave and sound is not. sound waves are caused by vibrations.

   How far do light waves travel compared to sound waves?

   • Light waves can travel through a much greater distance. Sound waves do not travel far as their energy is dissipated easily. Light waves travels at much higher velocity as compared to sound waves. The velocity of light waves through a vacuum is 2.998 x 10 8 m/s. Sound waves moves relatively at low velocity when compared to light waves.

   How are sound waves like light and water waves?

   • Sound waves are like light and water waves in other ways too. When water waves traveling long distances across the ocean flow around a headland or into a bay, they spread out in circles like ripples. Sound waves do exactly the same thing, which is why we can hear around corners.

   What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

   • Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves that require a medium for propagation, but transverse waves are non-mechanical waves that do not require a medium for propagation. Longitudinal waves consist of compressions and rarefactions, while transverse waves consist of crests and troughs. Give examples of transverse and longitudinal waves.

   • Transverse waves do not require a medium for propagation. An electromagnetic wave is an example of a transverse wave.
   • Light waves are transverse waves, and sound waves are longitudinal waves.
   • All electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, are transverse in nature.

   Finally, we need to say two things about light perception. For sound, intensity (proportional to amplitude-squared) is perceived as loudness, and for light it is brightness. For sound, frequency is perceived as pitch, and for visible light it is perceived as color.

    Waves may be transverse, longitudinal, or a combination of the two. The waves on the strings of musical instruments are transverse (as shown in Figure 13.5), and so are electromagnetic waves, such as visible light. Sound waves in air and water are longitudinal. Their disturbances are periodic variations in pressure that are transmitted in fluids.
