Can you please explain that more?

1. Is it possible to convert sound waves (longitudinal) into electromagnetic waves (transverse) 2. I know that the picture travels as an electromagnetic wave to get from the station to the T.V., but when it gets from your monitor to your eyes, how does it travel.

I know that that is the pattern, but I was just wondering how to figure that out with a formula or something.

So there is no definite way of determining that formula? I see that to get from a term to another you add first 1, then 3, then 9, then 27, then 81 which are multiples of three. Does this have anything to do with determining the formula? Thanks

So how would you get it then, with what formula or method?

This is the sequence: 1, 2, 5, 14, 41, 122 1. Is this a geometric series or an arithmetic series? 2. I know the formula is a sub n=[3^(n-1)+1]/2, but how do you get that from a sub n=a sub 1 * r^(n-1), which is the geometric formula for series.

How does physics play a role in televisions with respect to light waves, radio waves, and sound waves. Also, if the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, why does the picture and sound arrive at sync in a television. I just need to know a little bit about the basis of a television...
