Light and sound waves both carry energy. when light strikes an object, the colors seen are reflections of the visible light spectrum. the colors not seen are absorbed into the object. how is sound absorption different than light absorption? a. sound absorption happens much faster than light absorption. b. sound absorption depends primarily on the distance the wave travels before it is absorbed. c. sound waves cannot be absorbed due to their structure. d. sound absorption depends more on the thickness of a material than its color.
