Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
Atoms are the smallest unit of an element
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Height of ceiling is 
Initial speed of Putty 
Speed of Putty just before it strike the ceiling is given by
where v=final velocity
u=initial velocity
a=acceleration
s=displacement
time taken by putty to reach the ceiling
