There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?
Light Waves.
Is light matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves
When the energy in light waves transfers to matter?
Then the light is said to be ABSORBED.
What is the frequency of a light wave with a wavelength of 650?
The velocity of the light waves must be given before the frequency can be find.
Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?
The same.
Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
does the color of a lease affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
Which travels at a greater speed light waves or sound waves?
Light Waves.
Is the velocity of light more than velocity of radio waves?
No as they are both electromagnetic waves so have the same velocity but have differing wavelengths and frequencies.
When electromagnetic waves are moving through matter the speed of electromagnetic waves depends on?
Velocity of light in a medium depends on the electric and magnetic properties of that medium, namely permittivity, and permeability.
How do light waves affect matter?
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
Is light an object of matter?
No, light is energy in electromagnetic waves, it is not matter.

Do transverse waves in photography create light glare?
All light is transverse waves. All electromagnetic waves, for that matter.
What is the transfer of energy from light waves to matter?
light gas
Is light matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
sound waves
