What travels faster light or sound?

Light travels at approximately 3x108m/s whilst sound travels only at 343m/s. So which do you think is the faster one?


Which plane travels faster than the speed of light?

There isn't one.


If light travels about one million times faster than sound its travels at what?

Such a speed is technically called the speed of light, but it could also be defined as ~Mach 1000000.


Charles elwood chuck yeager is the person who travels in a jet which is faster than speed of light is it true?

No. Yeager has travelled faster than sound, but no one has travelled faster than light yet


Why will you see light from an SOS out at sea before you hear one?

Because it is a known fact that light travels faster than sound.


Light or warmth travels first?

Light travels faster than warmth. Light travels at a speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, whereas warmth (or heat) is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler one, which occurs at a slower pace through conduction, convection, or radiation.


How can you race the speed of light?

What do you mean, make it faster? In a vacuum, light travels at only one speed. There is no way to make it faster or slower. In other materials, light is usually slower. There are instances where it is actually measured to be faster, but it is generally believed that this can't be used to transfer matter, energy, or information, faster than the speed of light.


Which one is faster infra red light or light?

All electromagnetic (EM) radiation travels at the same speed in a vacuum. However in a different medium, for example a glass triangular prism, the speed depends on the frequency of the EM radiation, and on the material it travels through. Generally for transparent materials, infra-red will travel faster than visible light. This frequency dependence of the speed is what causes dispersion and can be seen in rainbows.


How many km would light travel in a minute?

-Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second.-There is 31,556,926 seconds in one year.-Light travels 9,460,528,412,464,108 meters in one year and after doing the math, light travels 9,460,528,412,464.108 kilometers in one year.


What is faster the speed of lightning or the speed of sound?

Lightning travels approximately at 60,000 miles a second (96,560 kps), while sound travels at a pokey one-fifth of a mile per second (20 kps). I think you might have actually been referring to light, not lightning, which travels at 186,411 miles per second (300,000 kps). In other words, light travels almost a million times faster than sound.


What travels faster the speed of light or the speed of sound?

The speed of light is nearly a million times faster than the speed of sound.The speed of light is roughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.-- Sound takes about 4.7 seconds to cover 1 mile.-- Light takes about 0.0000054 second to cover 1 mile.-- In the time it takes sound to travel one mile, light travels 881,741 miles .


How do you figure light years?

A light year is the distance light travels in one year. Light travels at 299792.458 km/s.
