Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
Is the speed of light or sound faster?
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
What is farster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?
Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
What is the speed of electricity or lightning compared to the speed of sound and light?
The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
Is the speed of light or sound faster?
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?
speed of light
What is farster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
How are light and sound related?
they are related by that light can turn into sound energy
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
When was The Sound the Speed the Light created?
The Sound the Speed the Light was created on 2009-10-06.
Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?
Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
What is faster in speed light or sound?
Light; The speed of light is 300,000 km/s yet the speed of sound is just 343 m / s
What is the speed of electricity or lightning compared to the speed of sound and light?
The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
