No, it is not possible for a camera or creature to see sound in the same way that we see light. Sound and light are fundamentally different phenomena with distinct properties.
Light is an electromagnetic wave that travels in the form of photons. Our eyes are specifically designed to detect and interpret different wavelengths of light, which we perceive as colors. The human visual system consists of specialized cells called photoreceptors that respond to different wavelengths and transmit signals to our brain, allowing us to see and distinguish between various colors and objects.
Sound, on the other hand, is a mechanical wave that requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. It consists of compressions and rarefactions of molecules in the medium, creating vibrations that our ears detect. Our auditory system processes these vibrations and converts them into nerve impulses, allowing us to perceive and interpret sounds.
While we can analyze sound using techniques such as spectrograms or visualize sound waves as waveforms, these representations are not analogous to the way we perceive light and colors. Sound does not have the same inherent relationship to physical objects as light does to colors. The pitch, volume, and other characteristics of sound are not directly tied to the visual properties of objects in the same way that color is.
Therefore, while it is possible to represent sound visually or use visualization techniques to study sound, it does not translate into a direct one-to-one correspondence between different objects being represented by different pitches or combinations of pitches.
