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.

Why velocity of sound is slower than normal in winter?

cause the air has less heat(energy) and will vibrate slower.


Why does water heat slower then air?

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, which means it requires more energy to raise its temperature. Additionally, water has a higher density than air, so it takes longer for heat to transfer through water compared to air. Overall, these properties make water heat up slower than air.


Can sound trave through solid?

Yes, but sound travels slower through solids than air.


Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?

Faster.


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.


Is heat slower than sound?

No, heat does not have a speed like sound does. Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one object to another due to temperature differences. Sound, on the other hand, travels as waves through a medium, such as air or water, at varying speeds depending on the medium.


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

sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.


Why sound travels slower in air than in water?

Sound travels slower in air than in water because air molecules are farther apart, which makes it harder for sound waves to propagate. In water, the molecules are closer together and can transmit the sound vibrations more efficiently. Additionally, the density and elasticity of water are higher compared to air, contributing to the faster speed of sound in water.


Does light or sound travel slower?

Sound, in normal air. First lightning then thunder!


Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?

No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
