A lot of stuff. Sound travels at 330 m/s (metres a second), so is faster than cars, planes (well, some...), and even Usain Bolt! However, some planes, and even the whip (so that's what that crackiing noise was! :) can travel faster. Of course, light is much faster!

What are supersonic waves?

Supersonic waves are waves that can travel faster than normal sound waves.


Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?

Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves

Do LIGHT WAVES TRAVEL FASTER THAN SOUND WAVES.?

Yes, light waves travel faster than sound waves. Light waves travel at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum, while sound waves travel at speeds ranging from around 767 mph (1,225 km/h) in air.


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 does sound travel faster in the water than the air?

Sound travels faster in water than air because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently. The molecules in water are closer together, which enables the sound waves to transmit quicker through the medium. Additionally, water has higher bulk modulus compared to air, facilitating faster transmission of sound waves.


Do waves travel faster than S waves?

What travels faster than light waves and sound waves?

Nothing within the known laws of physics can travel faster than light in a vacuum. However, certain theoretical particles known as tachyons are hypothesized to travel faster than light. Additionally, gravitational waves can also travel at the speed of light.


Do waves travel faster through waves or water?

Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).
