Question
are sound waves part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
yes, they are just like light waves
no, sound waves are longitudinal waves
Brief Explanations
Sound waves are longitudinal waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel. They are mechanical waves. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves (like light waves) which are transverse waves and can travel through a vacuum. So sound waves are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
