Explanation:
Sound waves do not activate any part of the visual system and so we cannot see sound waves directly, only when light interacts with a sound wave in a certain way. Instead our ears are designed to detect sound waves.

Sound waves are not visible as the wavelength of sound wave is much different than the visible range
Explanation:
- Human eye is very sensitive organ and can see only a particular range of wavelength that is from 400 n m to 700 n m(approximately) that is only VIBGYOR spectrum is visible
- Sound waves have wavelength much more greater than the visible range that is from 17 m to 17 mm (approximately) so only able to hear as human ears are able to sense these wavelengths not eyes
- These waves only produce vibrations in the given medium to transfer the information from one point to another by the process of consecutive compression and rare fraction
