O Light waves always travel the same speed; however,
the speed of sound is determined by the medium
that it travels through.
O All sound waves always have the same energy, so
the temperature of the medium does not affect wave
speed.
O Light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest
in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a
medium, so it travels fastest in a gas.
O Tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light
waves, however, sound wavesmake particles
bounce into each other, so they travel faster in
solids.
