Which features do sound waves have that light waves do not? Check all that apply.compressionsrarefactionswavelengthfrequencyamplitudepitchspeed

Answer
A
compressions
B
rarefactions
C
wavelength
D
frequency
E
amplitude
F
pitch
G
speed

Explanation

Sound waves can travel as longitudinal waves, which have compressions and rarefactions; light waves do not have these regions. Pitch describes how high or low a sound seems, so it applies to sound rather than light. Wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed are properties of both sound and light waves.
