faster Light travels faster than sound. Light travels at 300 000 000 m/s whereas sound travels at around 340 m/s at room temperature in air. That's a 880,000x difference!

That's a big difference, isn't it?
Actually, it has been discovered neutrinos may travel faster than the speed of light, not actual relevant to the question but a very exciting possibility i would say.

∙ 8y agothe speed of light in vacuum is 300,000km / s, the speed of sound in air is 340m / it s approximately thus dela light speed is far greater than the speed of sound (in any medium)

Compared to the speed of light in vacuum, sound travels
through air at sea level about 0.00000113 times as fast.

In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Does sound and light travel at the same speed?
no, light is faster
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Do LIGHT WAVES TRAVEL FASTER THAN SOUND WAVES.?
No light travels way faster
Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound
Does sound travel faster or slower when the air gets warmer?
faster
Does light travel slower then sound?
No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower. The numbers for each are thus: * Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Does sound travel 4 times faster in liquid?
No it actually travels slower.
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
Does sound travel faster in the presents of light?
no
Does light or sound travel slower?
Sound, in normal air. First lightning then thunder!
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
