No, not even close. Light travels at 300,000,000 meters/sec but sound only at 340 meters/sec

∙ 8y agoNo. Roughly speaking, the speed of light is about a million times faster. However, both the speed of light and the speed of sound vary, depending on the medium.

Is wavelength of sound greater than light?
no,wave length of sound is equal to wavelength of sound as when thunder appears,light appears first than sound because of more speed than sound but we can't considere that wave length of sound is greater than that of light
Which is fastest sound or light waves?
-- In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero, so you can't compare them there.-- In air at sea level, the speed of light is about 874 thousand times the speed of sound.
Compare the speed of light to the speed of sound?
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

Does sound and light travel at the same speed?
no, light is faster
What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
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 the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
Is the speed of light or sound faster?
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?
speed of light
What is farster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
Is wavelength of sound greater than light?
no,wave length of sound is equal to wavelength of sound as when thunder appears,light appears first than sound because of more speed than sound but we can't considere that wave length of sound is greater than that of light
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.
When was The Sound the Speed the Light created?
The Sound the Speed the Light was created on 2009-10-06.
Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?
Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
Is it correct to say that in every case any radio wave travels faster than any sound wave?
Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.
