Hi guys, I need some immediate help on confirming or denying a statement about the nature of light and sound. I'm not much of a physicist so hopefully someone else might have a clue.
The statement is thus:
"Physicists explain that light is much more complex than just visible light that we see with the human eye. Light travels through space by means of moving waves, called electro-magnetic waves. The wave length of these electro-magnetic waves determines the various types of light. Only 3% of the light spectrum makes up the visible light that we can see!
Where are the other waves? Within the light spectrum is a range of wavelengths called radio waves which comprise a certain part of the electro-magnetic spectrum of light. Within this range there is an even smaller range which may be detected by human ear.
***As light travels through space at a wavelength within the threshold of audibility, we hear this light as sound and music."
Basically - is sound simply a form of unseen (but heard) light?
If our eyes were suitably adjusted would it be possible for us to see sound?
Or are light and sound really unrelated?
Much appreciated...
G.

they are completely unrelated in mechanism.
