What do sound waves and infrared waves have in common, and what makes them different?

both carry energy through space, but sound waves are mechanical and infrared waves are electromagnetic.

both can transfer energy through matter, but sound waves travel through air and infrared waves travel through space.

both can transfer energy through matter, but sound waves can be heard and infrared waves can be seen.

both carry energy through space, but sound waves require matter to pass through and infrared waves do not.

Both can transfer energy through matter, but sound waves can be heard and infrared waves can be seen.

Explanation:

A sound wave is a mechanical wave. It requires medium to transfer energy. A sound wave moves forward by compression and rarefaction i.e. by changing air pressure. A sound wave can be heard but cannot be seen.

An infrared wave is an electromagnetic wave which can transfer energy in space as well as medium. In space it travels with the speed of light. An infrared wave can be sensed by heat and can be seen. It cannot be heard.

Thus, sound waves and infrared waves have common that these can transfer energy through matter. Difference between the two is that sound waves can be heard but infrared waves can be seen.
