How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?
You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
How does the speed of sound change in a vacuum?
sound can not be in a vacuum because a vacuum has no air. Sound needs a medium to travel though. :)
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
Compare the speed of light to the speed of sound?
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

How fast does the speed of sound go from mars to earth?
No way! There is vacuum where no sound can travel.
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 does the speed of sound not depend on?
on vacuum
Where is speed of sound the most in air or vacuum?
Air, given that sound can't travel in a vacuum.
The speed of light indicates how fast light can travel in a vacuum?
Yes ... in a vacuum.
What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.

How many times greater is the speed of light than the speed of sound?
The speed of sound in air is about 300 meters per second. (320 is closer still). ..The speed of light in a vacuum is 300 000 000 meters per second.So the speed of light in a vacuum (in air it is only slightly different) is about one million times the speed of sound in air.
