Light travels faster than sound ... about 875,000 times faster.
Nothing travels faster than light.
No light travels way faster
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
because light waves travel faster than sound waves, you see the light a lot sooner than you hear the sound.
Light travels faster than sound. Light travels at nearly 300 million meters per second, whereas sound travels at 340.2 meters per second (both at sea level). Light is, thus, about three hundred thousand times faster than sound. (In miles per hour, the sound barrier is 761 mph)
First we see the light due to lightning process. But the thunder sound is heard only after a few seconds. This implies that light travels faster and sound travels very very slowly
No light travels way faster
Light travels much, much faster than sound. Light travels at 299792458 m/s while sound only goes 340.29 m/s.

sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.

Light Waves.
sound waves
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Which of them travel faster - light or sound waves? Light waves travel in vacuum with the speed of light c = 299792458 m/s or 983571056 ft/s. Sound waves travel at 20°C (68°F) with the speed of sound c = 343 m/s or 1125.33 ft/s. So light travels 874,030 times faster than sound. Don't forget that sound needs necessarily air as a medium. Light does not need a medium; vacuum is O
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
