In physics the equation (VELOCITY) = (LAMBDA) X (FREQUENCY) is used for both sound and light. Velocity is the speed of the wave (sound or light or whatever) Lambda is the wavelength (The distance it takes for a wave to make an entire cycle) and the frequency is how fast the wave vibrates. Light is sometimes treated as a wave like sound is, even though it is also sometimes treated as a particle called a photon. The wavelength for sound however is about half a meter, while light has a wavelength about a billion times smaller than that! That means that the sound waves reflect around corners a lot, while light doesn't very much. It still does though, and was discovered by a man named Thomas Yound in the early 1800s. You can see the wave nature of light at home: in a dark room, stick a hair in front of a laser (like $10 at the store) and turn it on. You should see a line of light and dark because light is a wave.

What are adverts?
adverts are something you see or hear through the T.V or radio. you may also see them on newspapers or billboards. Most of them are shown as products selling.
Why can you hear around corners but cannot see around corners?
Sound waves have a longer wavelength which allows them to bend around corners more than light waves.
Why can we hear sound around corners?
Sound waves can diffract around corners because they exhibit wave-like behavior and can bend when they encounter an obstacle. This bending allows sound waves to travel around obstacles and reach the other side, making it possible for us to hear sound around corners.
Why can't we see around corners diagram?
Cause th3re corners
How can you hear sounds around corners?
Check your sway bar rubbers in the front, there are 4 of them and they will cause a bumping and banging noise around corners and over bumps.
Can you see around corners?
No, I am a virtual assistant and cannot physically see or move around like a human can.
What phenomenon do people see in and around the four corners?
Is it the Aroura Borealis
Why you can hear a sound around a corner?
Sound waves can diffract, which means they can bend around obstacles like corners. This allows sound to reach you even when you can't see the source, as long as the obstacle is not completely blocking the path of the sound waves.
Why are periscopes used?
to see around corners or above walls and fences etc
When bending of a sound waves around corners is called?
When sound waves bend around corners, it is called diffraction. Diffraction occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or a slit that is comparable in size to their wavelength, causing the wave to spread out and bend around the obstacle. This phenomenon allows sound waves to travel around obstacles and into shadow regions, making it possible to hear sounds from around corners.
Why can you hear a mans voice around the corner of a building even if you cant see him?
Sound waves can bend around obstacles such as corners and travel through the air. This allows the sound of a man's voice to reach your ears even if he is not in your line of sight. Sound waves reflect and diffract, enabling you to hear the sound even when the source is not visible.
What property of sound allows you to hear sound waves around corners?
Diffraction is the property of sound that allows you to hear sound waves around corners. It causes sound waves to bend and spread out when encountering obstacles, allowing sound to be heard even when it doesn't travel in a straight line.
What is the meaning of see around corners?
1. To see what is, not what appears to be. 2. To possess clairvoyance or clairvoyant abilities. 3. To see what is coming, ie the future or what is 'just around the corner'
