O Light waves always travel the same speed; however,
the speed of sound is determined by the medium
that it travels through.
O All sound waves always have the same energy, so
the temperature of the medium does not affect wave
speed.
O Light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest
in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a
medium, so it travels fastest in a gas.
O Tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light
waves, however, sound wavesmake particles
bounce into each other, so they travel faster in
solids.

The law of entropy can also be called the law of increasing disorder, but this law seems to contradict the existence of living organisms that are able to organize chemicals into organic molecules. prepare for a class debate on the validity of the following arguments: a. living things are not subject to the laws of thermodynamics. b. the increase in the universe's entropy due to life processes is greater than the decrease in entropy within a living organism.
