Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.

How does the speed of light compare to the speed of radio waves?

light travels faster than radio wavws


What travels faster the sound from a person or a radio waves sent to a radio?

Sound travels at the speed of sound, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light. The speed of radio waves is much faster than the speed of sound. If you're seated high in the stands at a baseball game, watching it on the field and listening to the game on the radio at the same time, it's quite common to hear the crack of the bat on the radio before you hear it straight from Home Plate.


Which travel faster a radio wave or sound wave?

A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.


What travel faster a radio signal or sound in air explain?

Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.


Which travels faster a radio signal or a sound?

Radio signal being an electromagnetic wave does not need even a material medium. It has velocity so incredible which equals to that of light as 300,000 km per second. But sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium and its speed is just 350 m/s in air and some how higher in solids


How do you get the radio in Pokemon SoulSilver?

Go to the radio tower, and talk to one of the woman at the front desk. If you talk to the correct one, she'll give you a quiz. You can do this quiz as many times as you like, until you get every answer correct. Once you get all of them correct, you'll get a radio card on your pokeqear.


What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?

neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves


Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?

The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.


Which one travels faster radar or light?

Radio waves and light are forms of electromagnetic radiation and travel at the same speed: in vacuum approx 300,000,000 metres per second.


Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?

Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.


Is TV or cable faster?

radio!


Why sound travels faster then light in television?

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.
