The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this). The speed of light in air is about 300 million meters per second.

Is the The speed of sound is the same the as speed of light yes or no?
No. Light travels much faster than sound.
Is sound the fastest speed possible?
No!...Speed of light is the fastest speed possible, but now a new particle called lepton is more faster than light...rather it is has the fastest speed discovered till now.It travels in the same wave as light travels i.e tranverse waves.
What color travels the slowest?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the same speed. The speed of light.
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.
Is the speed of light greater or lesser in air than in water?
The speed is the same. Light travels at a finite speed.
What is the speed of light on Mars?
Sound always travels at the same speed. The speed of sound varies by medium and temperature. Aerospaceweb seems to conclude that the speed of sound on the surface of Mars is roughly 550 mph.
Does light travels slowest through space?
As the medium through which light propagates in space is closes to a vacuum, light propagates very well in space. However, it travels at the same speed as it would on earth, as light travels at 299,792,458m/s in a vacuum, regardless of where that vacuum is located. the light travels in same speed whether it travels in space or earth.
Is infrared light faster than microwave light?
All light travels at the same speed
Can sound travel faster in air?
sound travels so fast because it feels like it
Does sound and light travel at the same speed?
no, light is faster
Does light travels the same way as sound?
No. Light can't travel through solid brick, steel etc, but sound can.
How long does it take for sound and light to travel the same distance?
No. If it did, then we'd have to call it light, not sound. Actually, there's a little bitof a difference between the two speeds. Like light travels about 879 thousandtimes faster than sound does.
