I'm just curious.

They are both wave phenomena, carry energy away from the source, and their intensity at a distance follows the inverse-square law. They can be sensed by humans and many other animals, and distinguished on the basis of frequency and intensity. Thus they can be used to convey information. They can be reflected and refracted, and thus focused, so they can form an image, either 2D or 3D. Their propagation speed varies with the medium they travel through. (This is the basis of refraction.)

both of them r wave phenomena.but has different kinds of waves.both carries energy. sound needs medium but light doesn't.....

They both transfer their energy through their respective medium without carrying their medium along with them.

They both travel as waves

Sound can trip with the aid of a vacuum utilising mild because of the fact the transport. In different words, the expression of sound is mild. It creates an audio seen technique which facilitates the replication of that precise sound while it comes forth from a vacuum...and amplified via a ingredient of two. Sound can exist with out mild, yet in no clever can mild exist with out sound.

They both travel in waves.

they dont have much in common. sound travels through air, which means you cant hear ne thing in space.
