Does light travel at half the speed of sound?
No. Light travels at about 875 thousand times the speed of sound.
How fast does light travel in ethyl alcohol?
It travels at approx 220,000,000 metres per second.
What travels faster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is nearly a million times faster than the speed of sound.The speed of light is roughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.-- Sound takes about 4.7 seconds to cover 1 mile.-- Light takes about 0.0000054 second to cover 1 mile.-- In the time it takes sound to travel one mile, light travels 881,741 miles .
How far does the hour hand travel in an hour?
It travels at a seed of 736mph. About 486,013,749 times slower than the speed of light. It travels at a speed of 736mph. About 486,013,749 times slower than the speed of light. * * * * * That is the approximate speed of sound. Nothing to do with the question!. The answer to the question is 1/12 of a whole circle, and that is 30 degrees or pi/6 radians.
Why sound travels faster then light in television?
It doesn't. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/second; sound travels roughly a million times slower. By the way, the light you see and the sound you hear in television doesn't travel as light or sound for most of the way - the information is encoded in a radio wave (which also travels at the speed of light). Only in the television set is the information transformed back into normal light, and sound.
What is the speed of light can anything else travel closer to the speed of light?
What is the speed of light? About 300,000,000 meters per second - enough to travel all around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Can anything travel nearly as fast? - Yes, in particle accelerators particles are regularly accelerated to over 99% of the speed of light. According to current scientific understanding: (a) it is not possible to transfer matter, energy, or information faster than the speed of light. (b) An object that regularly travels at a slower speed can't be made to travel at the speed of light - it can only approach it. (A photon, that is, a speed of light, can only travel at the speed of light.)
What travels faster than light waves and sound waves?
Nothing within the known laws of physics can travel faster than light in a vacuum. However, certain theoretical particles known as tachyons are hypothesized to travel faster than light. Additionally, gravitational waves can also travel at the speed of light.
Speed of a proton is 275c?
A speed of 275c implies that the proton is traveling at 275 times the speed of light. This speed is not possible according to the theory of relativity, which states that nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light or faster.
How fast does is the speed of light travel around the earth?
Light cannot travel around the Earth, since light travels at a straight line and the Earth is round. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
If light travels about one million times faster than sound its travels at what?
Such a speed is technically called the speed of light, but it could also be defined as ~Mach 1000000.
How fast does light travel than sound?
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.
How Fast Does Light Travel For Kids?
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). That means light can travel around the Earth about 7.5 times in one second! It's the fastest thing in the universe that we know of.
