How fast is echolocation?
It is slower than half the speed of sound.
What's difference between subsonic and supersonic?
Subsonic is below or slower than the speed of sound, and supersonic is above or faster than the speed of sound.
Is heat slower than sound?
Heat is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In a vacumn particles travel at over 299792458 m s^-1. So that is a lot faster than vibrations (Sound Energy)
Why you see the fighter plane first but hear the plane later?
Because it is travelling faster than the speed of sound, the sound comes later. However, if a fighter plane was slower than the speed of sound, you'd see the plane first.
What bullets travel faster than the speed of sound?
Almost all of them. The question is, what bullets travel SLOWER than the speed of sound? They're called "subsonic" bullets, and special operations units buy them for their silenced guns.
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 in air?
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 speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
How fast is echolocation?
It is slower than half the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
What is Subsonic Bullet?
Subsonic means "slower than the speed of sound" so a subsonic bullet is any bullet that travels slower than the speed of sound.
What's difference between subsonic and supersonic?
Subsonic is below or slower than the speed of sound, and supersonic is above or faster than the speed of sound.
Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
no, not that i know of though but im sure nothing is faster than the speed of light and the speed of sound is slower than the light
What happens to a Harrier when it travels faster than the speed of sound?
There are different variations of Harriers in service, the fastest has a top speed of 735mph(.96mach) slower than the speed of sound.
How fast can an elf owl fly?
Faster than a moth, yet slower than the speed of sound.
Will electromagnetic radiation with a longer wave length travel through space slower than one with a shorter wave length?
The speed of electromagnetic radiation stays constant at a speed of 299,792,458 metres per second.
When will an eletromagnetic wave travel slower than the speed of light?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.All types of electromagnetic wave travel at the same speed,as long as they're traveling through the same stuff.The speed is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum, andsomewhat slower in any material. The exact speed dependson the material, and it's different for every material.
