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.


How do you Compare and contrast light and sound energy?

Light energy consists of electromagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light, while sound energy consists of mechanical waves that travel at a much slower speed. Light energy does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound energy does. Light energy can travel through a vacuum, whereas sound energy cannot.

How fast is the speed of sound and speed of light added together?

The speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, and the speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 km/s. When added together, the speed of sound and the speed of light do not directly add up because sound requires a medium to travel through, while light can travel in a vacuum.
