Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
because sound travels slower than light, the you are to the lightning the sooner you hear the thunder..
Because light travels much faster than sound.
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
No. Sound is a conductive vibration that travels more slowly than light in any real-world environment. Sound travels at about 1,100 feet per second in air, and light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum and nearly as fast in air (although not as fast in glass, diamond, or other transparent solids). The large difference in speed is why you see a flash of lightning before you hear the thunder it creates. Sound is created by a wave that essentially pushes particles into the next particle. The speed of this wave is determined by the material it is traveling through. Something with high density and rigidity, such as steel, conducts a sound wave considerably faster than air (20,000 feet per second). If you were to have an object of infinitely high density and rigidity, sound could travel as faster as light. However, because it still boils down to the maximum velocity of the particles in the wave, it would not be able to exceed the speed of light.
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
Light appears lighter, and also travels faster, than sound.
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
Light travels faster.
Light travels faster.
Light travels faster than sound ... about 875,000 times faster. Nothing travels faster than light.
sound and light are energyperformed from ave but light travels in a straight direction
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
light
It doesn't. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/second; sound travels roughly a million times slower. By the way, the light you see and the sound you hear in television doesn't travel as light or sound for most of the way - the information is encoded in a radio wave (which also travels at the speed of light). Only in the television set is the information transformed back into normal light, and sound.
Wind does, as neither liht nor sound is a what but a whim. Wind is the only process that is a transport of mass and matter. The others do not travel, but fare.
Light travels at approximately 3x108m/s whilst sound travels only at 343m/s. So which do you think is the faster one?
