sound must need some for its propagation.wood is definitely a medium but number of of free electron are very less to propagate sound

Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
no, not that i know of though but im sure nothing is faster than the speed of light and the speed of sound is slower than the light
The speed of sound varies when?
sound travels faster or slower depending on the medium it is moving through and the temperature of the medium :]
What is the speed of sound through paper?
Sound waves need matter to travel through, and wood is matter, so yes, sound waves travel through wood. They travel through wood faster than they do through air, as wood is denser than air.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
How many miles per hour can supersonic fly?
Mach refers to the speed of sound in air. Typically about 750 mi/hr but it varies faster or slower with temperature from cold to hot respectively. Mach one is one times speed of sound. Mach 3 would be three times speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
How fast is echolocation?
It is slower than half the speed of sound.
What is Subsonic Bullet?
Subsonic means "slower than the speed of sound" so a subsonic bullet is any bullet that travels slower than the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.
How do you Stop a Drill Bit from Burning oak wood?
Sharpen it, use a slower speed.
What's difference between subsonic and supersonic?
Subsonic is below or slower than the speed of sound, and supersonic is above or faster than the speed of sound.
What happens to a Harrier when it travels faster than the speed of sound?
There are different variations of Harriers in service, the fastest has a top speed of 735mph(.96mach) slower than the speed of sound.
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
no, not that i know of though but im sure nothing is faster than the speed of light and the speed of sound is slower than the light
Is heat slower than sound in air?
Heat being transferred in three modes. They are conduction, convection and radiation As far as conduction and convection are concerned they may be slower than sound But radiation is by electromagnetic wave. It has the speed of light. So it is not slower than sound.
