The only difference between the two is that the Light Wave is traveling one trillion times faster. So theoretically if a human could play fast enough... he should be able to transmit light instead of sound. Sounds crazy, but logical.... if that is even possible...edit on 1-1-2011 by Areveli because: * Hz = Hertz and THz = Tera Hertz
electrical potential: noun
Definition of ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL : the potential energy of a unit positive charge at a point in an electric field that is reckoned as the work which would be required to move the charge to its location in the electric field from an arbitrary point having zero potential (as one at infinite distance from all electric charges) and that is roughly analogous to the potential energy at a given elevation in a gravitational field

You do know that no matter how fast a man plays a violin there's still sound coming from it not light.
What you probably meant was if the string could resonate not 440 times per second but 440*10^12 times per second it would emit light.
And no it would not emit light because sound waves are made by mechanical vibration but light is transmitted by electromagnetic waves.
