it is 3.5 billion times fast in a milli-second
I don't know where this answer came from or what it means BUT
- sound travels at roughly 700 mph in air at sea level;
- light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum;
- assuming we compare sound in air (as it can't travel in a vacuum) and light in a vacuum (as it can slow through a medium such as air or water), then light travels at 830,000 times the speed of sound.
What else can I help you with?
Which travel faster in coated glass pipe sound or light?
No matter what you do to either of them, light is always going to travel at least several hundred times as fast as sound, and most generally about 800 thousand times as fast as sound. Sound will never travel faster than light, in any situation.
Can the speed of sound travel faster than the speed of light?
No. Light in vacuum is roughly 880 thousand timesas fast as sound in air.
What makes light travel so fast?
Unlike sound it travels through atoms and molecules. Also, the intake from the eye can interpret the light much faster than the ear can interpret sound making it seem as if sound is much slower than light when in fact it is almost the same speed.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
What travel fast light or sound in the universe?
Light travels faster than sound in the universe. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second, whereas the speed of sound is significantly slower at about 343 meters per second in air.
What is as fast as light?
Nothing can travel faster than light in a vacuum.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Does ultrasound travel faster than light?
Just to give some clarity, ultrasound doesn't travel faster than sound. It simply resonates at a higher frequency than normal sound. Sound in a lighter atmosphere, or light travels faster than ultrasound.
Which travels faster sound or light signals?
At sea level, the speed of light through air is approx 299,700,000 metres per second. The speed of sound, in similar conditions, is approx 343 metres per second. So light signals are around 875,000 times faster than sound.
What are some properties of light?
It travel in a higher speed than sound
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
What waves travel faster sound or light?
Light waves travel faster than sound waves.
