Light: Transverse, Oscillations are perpendicular to direction of wave travel, Speed of 300,000,000 m/s in a vacuum , Speed of 300,000,000 m/s in air, Can be reflected and refracted (we did the prac), Used in optical fibres, Can travel in a vacuum, A type of electromagnetic wave, Created by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields., We can detect frequencies in the range of 400 to 700 THz, Sound: Longitudinal, Oscillations are parallel to direction of wave travel, Speed of 340 m/s in air, Speed of around 1500 m/s in water and solids, Cannot travel in a vacuum, Need particles for this to propagate, Can be reflected and refracted, Not an electromagnetic wave, A mechanical wave, Created by vibrations of a medium, Human-perceptible frequencies range from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.,
