Light waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to sound waves.
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two successive points in the wave that are in the same phase. It is usually represented by the symbol λ (lambda). The frequency of a wave, represented by the symbol f, is the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in one second and is measured in hertz (Hz).
In the case of light waves, they have very short wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers (nm). This corresponds to frequencies in the range of approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz). Light waves include the visible spectrum that we can perceive as different colors.
On the other hand, sound waves have much longer wavelengths. The range of audible sound for humans typically falls between 20 hertz (Hz) and 20,000 hertz (20 kilohertz, kHz). For example, a typical sound wave with a frequency of 440 Hz (corresponding to the musical note A4) has a wavelength of around 0.78 meters in air.
In summary, light waves have much shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to sound waves.
