Light waves VS sound waves


	Light waves VS sound waves
	Similarities light waves and sound waves can both be diffracted, reflected & refracted they can both have a range of frequencies and wavelengths they both transfer energy without transferring matter	Differences 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
	Overall comparison

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
