Introduction

Light and sound are two important aspects of our everyday life. They help us see things and communicate with each other.

Light

Light is a form of energy that helps us see things around us. Here are some examples:

  • The sun gives us light during the day.
  • When you switch on a torch, light comes out.
  • A candle also produces light when it is lit.

Sound

Sound is what we hear when things make noise. Examples of sound include:

  • Birds chirping in the morning.
  • A bell ringing in the school.
  • Someone clapping their hands.
