What do sound waves and infrared waves have in common, and what makes them different?

A
Both carry energy through space, but sound waves are mechanical and infrared waves are electromagnetic.
B
Both can transfer energy through matter, but sound waves travel through air and infrared waves travel through space.

2 circles with an overlap. The left circled is labeled Longitudinal Wave with further labels parallel motion, like moving a spring up and down. The right circle is labeled Transverse Wave with further labels perpendicular motion, like moving a spring back and forth. In the overlap are labels particles only move a small amount, particles do not move with the wave.

Question illustration
A
“Parallel” and “Perpendicular” are switched.
B
The spring descriptions of motion are switched.
C
Particles travel along the wave in longitudinal waves.
D
Particles move long distances in transverse waves.
