Such a speed is technically called the speed of light, but it could also be defined as ~Mach 1000000.

What travels faster light or sound?
Light travels at approximately 3x108m/s whilst sound travels only at 343m/s. So which do you think is the faster one?
What travels faster than light waves and sound waves?
Light travels faster than sound ... about 875,000 times faster. Nothing travels faster than light.
Which travels fastest sound air light or water?
Light travels faster.
Is sound faster than the eyesight?
Light travels faster than sound. Light travels at nearly 300 million meters per second, whereas sound travels at 340.2 meters per second (both at sea level). Light is, thus, about three hundred thousand times faster than sound. (In miles per hour, the sound barrier is 761 mph)
Does sound travels faster than light in water?
No.

Which travels faster noise or lightning?
lightning travels faster. Light is faster than sound.
Which travels fastest sound water air light?
Light travels faster.
Which travels fastest sound air light or water?
Light travels faster.
What travels lighter light or sound?
Light appears lighter, and also travels faster, than sound.

Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
What travels faster out of sound and light?
Light is roughly a million times faster than sound. (Speed of light in a vacuum: 300 million meters/second; speed of sound in air: ca. 350 meters/second; the speed of soundin other substances varies quite a lot.)
Why do you see fireworks before hearing them?
We see the firework works first because the because burning emits light . It is a fact that it travels faster than sound . So the sound energy produced during the burning of fire work reaches us late . So we hear the sound after vizualizing it.
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.
