Yes. In air, sound travels at about 300 or 330 meters/second (it varies, depending on the temperature - also, sound in water or steel, for example, is quite a bit faster). But an electrical signal can go at about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - that would be about 200,000 kilometers/second.
What else can I help you with?
Why was light from the rocket seen before the sound of rocket was heard?
Because light travels significantly faster than sound. Speed of light (in vacuum) = 299 792 458 m/s Speed of Sound (at sea-level ) = 340.29 m/s
Why you see light first then sound after?
Light travels faster than sound, so when an event occurs, the light reaches our eyes first followed by the sound reaching our ears. This difference in speed creates the perceived delay between seeing the event and hearing it.
Can light travel faster than sound?
Under normal circumstances, no. The speed of light in a vacuum is roughly 300,000,000 meters/second, while the speed of sound through air is 340 meters/second. However light does not travel 3x109 m/s inside a medium, and recent experiments have shown there are ways to slow light down to a crawl. In such a medium, usually a crystal structure, sound could indeed travel faster than light.
Is thunder electricity?
Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.
Which of these two is faster is it lightning or thunder?
The lightning. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. In addition, lightning creates thunder, therefore it happens first, therefore must be faster. See the related link for more information.
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.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.
Is the aeroplane Conrade faster than sound?
No, but the CONCORDE flies faster than sound
Which of this speed are faster than the speed of a nerve messagespeed of electricityspeed of sound or speed of light?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of a nerve message, speed of electricity, and speed of sound. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second, while nerve impulses, electricity, and sound waves travel much slower.
Which sound waves can be called ultrasonic?
Ultrasonic means 'faster than sound'. This means no sound wave can be faster than sound.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Is light faster than sound or is it the other away around?
Light is faster than sound.
Is there any object that is faster than sound?
Jet planes often fly faster than sound.
What specific materials transmit sound faster?
Generally, denser materials transmit sound faster than less dense materials. For example, sound travels faster through solids like metal or glass compared to liquids or gases. Additionally, materials with a higher elasticity tend to transmit sound more efficiently.
What is faster a fighter jet or sound?
A fighter jet can be faster than the speed of sound.
Can you move faster than electricity?
No, electricity moves at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in the universe. Therefore, it is not possible for anything to move faster than electricity.
Is the stealth bomber faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, the stealth bomber can fly faster than the speed of sound. It has a top speed of about 600 mph, which is faster than the speed of sound (around 760 mph).
