Light and Sound

Light and sound is found everywhere. Light and sound waves travel from place to place and can
be seen and heard. Light is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight. It is a
form of energy we can see when it is reflected off the surface of an object. Sound is a mechanical
vibration that can pass through solids, liquids, and gases and can usually be identified by the sense
of hearing.

Light waves travel through the air from place to place and do not carry matter. Light is believed to
travel faster than anything in the universe. It travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Light is
unable to travel through solids, but it can travel through liquids and gases.

There are two properties of light. The first property of light is called reflection. Reflection is when
light bounces off a surface which then allows the object to be visible to the eye. For example, when
the moon is seen in the sky, it is because the light from the sun reflects off the surface of the moon.
A light ray comes off a surface at an equal angle to the angle at which it struck the surface.

The second property of light is called refraction. Refraction is when a ray of light passes from a
transparent medium to another transparent medium such as from air to water, it changes speed and
the way it bends.

For example, when a pencil is placed into a glass of water, the pencil will seem like it is broken
into two pieces. Because the light is traveling through the water, there is refraction, and the light
bends causing the pencil to look like it is in two pieces. Another example of refraction, is the use of
eyeglasses to improve a person's vision. Using a glass that is curved at a certain angle the vision of
a person is corrected by the way light is refracted in the eye.

All sounds are different, but one thing in common is that sounds are created by something that
vibrates. Sound wave vibrations can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Sound waves travel
through solids much faster than through liquids or gases, and faster in liquids than gases.

The molecules that make up a solid are closer together allowing the sound to travel
faster. Molecules are the substances that make up solids, liquids, and gases. In a liquid, the
molecules are farther apart, so the sound waves travel slower. In a gas, the molecules are spread
farther apart so the sound waves travel much slower. A sound traveling through a solid can be better
heard than traveling through a gas.

For example, a vibrating speaker collides with the molecules in the air passing along the energy
and creating sound waves. This is why music can be heard from the speakers. When there are no
molecules in the air, like in space, the sound could not be heard. The speed of sound travels much
slower than the speed of light. It normally travels in air at about 1200 feet per second.

In summary, light and sound is everywhere. Light is a form of energy we can see when it is
reflected off the surface of an object. Sound is a mechanical vibration that can pass through solids,
liquids, and gases. Reflection and refraction are two properties of light. Sound travels through solids
much faster than through liquids and gases. Molecules, which make up all objects, are closer
together in a solid allowing the sound to travel faster. Light travels much faster than sound.
