Best Answer

Heat being transferred in three modes. They are conduction, convection and radiation

As far as conduction and convection are concerned they may be slower than sound

But radiation is by electromagnetic wave. It has the speed of light. So it is not slower than sound.

Who discovered that the sound is faster than light?

I am not sure what you mean; sound (in air) is actually roughly a million times SLOWER than light.


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.


Will cold air particles transmit sound at a higher speed than hot air particles?

colder air is more dense than warmer air. As a result it is harder for the sound to travel through the cold air and the speed of sound is slower in cold air compared to warm air.


Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
