Actually, the speed of light is variable. Using diamonds and/or crystals, light-speed has been doubled as well as slowed to 30 mph.
That being said, the waves that make sound are longer that the waves that make light, so they travel through air more quickly. Not so with water...

What else can I help you with?
What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
What is faster sound or electricity?
Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.
Why is it that lightning travels faster than sound?
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
Concorde is a commercial supersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds over twice the speed of sound, but it cannot fly faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
Is the The speed of sound is the same the as speed of light yes or no?
No. Light travels much faster than sound.
Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
Is the speed of light or sound faster?
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
Why do you watch for smoke as opposed to the sound of the gun?
Speed of light is faster than speed of sound.
Can you List 3 things that is faster than the speed of sound?
Light travels much faster than the speed of sound. Some high-speed aircraft can travel faster than the speed of sound, reaching supersonic speeds. Particle accelerators can propel particles to speeds faster than the speed of sound.
Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?
Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
Jan saw the flash before she heard the sound what does this tell you about the speed of light and the speed of sound?
It tells you that the speed of light is greater than the speed of sound.in the environment that Jan was in
