Iioht and Sound and Glass.

Why doesn't the closed window shut
out light just as much as II shuts out
sound? Both light and sound travel
through the air. and their waves come
in contact with the glass. The light.
after it has gone through the window,
seems just as strong or stronger. while
the sound seems ever so much weaker.
Why Is it? Many of US have wonder
ed. The reason Is that light Is not a
wave Of air, while sound is. Light is
a wave in the ether which is in the
glass as well as In the air. so that light
In passing through glass still has its
natural path OF ether But when sound
waves strike the window glass they
must put the glass into vibration. and
the glass In turn must make the air
inside yibrate. All this lessons the
strength of the sound waves, and they
reach our ears capable of producing a
less startling effect than are the light
waves which reach our eyes
