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 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

Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
