Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?

What happens to speed of sound in air when sound get louder?
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
How would people travel at the speed of sound?
We can use ultrasonic planes. They can travel with that speed.
What happens to seismic waves in the air?
In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).
What happens to the speed of a sound wave as it passes from the air into the ground?
The speed of a sound wave increases when it passes from air into the ground. This is because sound waves travel faster in solids than in gases, due to the higher density and rigidity of the solid material.
What does the speed of sound travel?
At the temperature of 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
What commercial arliner travel twice the speed of sound?
There is currently no commercial airliner which can travel at that speed.
Is the speed of sound dependent on frequency?
No, the speed of sound is not dependent on frequency. It is determined by the medium through which the sound waves travel.
What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
Does light travel at half the speed of sound?
No. Light travels at about 875 thousand times the speed of sound.
How can light and sound travel at a same time in televisions?
They don't really travel at the same speed, but, on television, the distance they travel is so short, that the difference between the speed of sound and the speed of light is almost non-existant.
Can tornadoes travel faster then the speed of sound?
No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.
