Similarity and Difference between Light and Sound.   (Light and Sound Waves) Similarity :-  (1)👉  Both light and sound are forms of energy. (2)👉 They both have wave nature. (3)👉 Both light and sound have properties of wavelength, frequency and amplitude. (4)👉 The reflection laws of light and sound are same. i.e.–           (I) The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.          (II) The reflected sound ( reflected ray for light), the incident sound (incident ray for light) and the normal belong in the same plane. (Here i= Angle of incident sound wave and r= Angle of reflection) (Reflection of Sound) (Here 𝞱 i = Angle of incident ray and 𝞱 r  =Angle of reflection) (Reflection of Light) Difference :- (1)👉 The most common difference between light and sound is that we can see light and we can hear sound. (2)👉 Both are energy but sound is a mechanical energy and light is a electromagnetic energy....
