Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower. The numbers for each are thus: * Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????
The speed of light is faster than the speed of a nerve message, speed of electricity, and speed of sound. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second, while nerve impulses, electricity, and sound waves travel much slower.
Light travels faster than sound in the universe. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second, whereas the speed of sound is significantly slower at about 343 meters per second in air.
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
Light is faster than sound. Light travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), whereas sound travels through air at about 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second).
so Im just going to straight up say use google but also I'm going to say the speed of sound is faster than the speed of light and magnetism is was slower.
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
Faster then speed of light.
The main difference is the speed of the object in relation to the speed of sound. Subsonic refers to speeds slower than the speed of sound, while supersonic refers to speeds faster than the speed of sound. In the case of supersonic speeds, objects are traveling faster than the speed at which sound waves propagate in the medium.
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
No, the speed of sound is much slower than the speed of light. The speed of sound in air is around 343 meters per second, while the speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
