What else can I help you with?
What s faster then the speed of sound and light?
Speed of Light======================Answer #2:Many modern aircraft cruise at speeds greater than that of sound.The adjective used to describe such travel is "supersonic".
Do missiles travel faster than sound?
yes, Even a rifle bullet may travel faster than sound, but even then, it cannot reach escape velocity. Rockets seem to have beaten the escape velocity problem. A space missile will travel more than 11.2 km/s, which is about 10 times the speed of a bullet. +/- [Sound velocity ~ 330m/s.] The first body to leave the Earth was the Sputnik.
Does light travel at half the speed of sound?
No. Light travels at about 875 thousand times the speed of sound.
Would sound waves travel faster in water or steel?
I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Does most wave travel at the same speed?
No, different types of waves travel at different speeds depending on the medium they are traveling through. For example, light waves travel faster in a vacuum than in other materials. Sound waves travel faster in solids than in gases.
How many times faster is the speed of light in a vacuum than the speed of sound air?
100% - sound is vibration of atoms/molecules - it cannot travel through vacuum ___________________________ The idea of "speed pf sound in a vacuum" is meaningless; sound cannot travel without a medium such as air, water, metal, stone, or SOMETHING. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations; there has to be something to vibrate. The speed of sound in air is around 700 miles per hour, while the speed of light is 186,000 miles per SECOND.
Are there planes that can travel faster than the speed of sound?
yes, the fastest plane in the world, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, can reach speeds of up to three times the speed of sound.
What travels faster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is nearly a million times faster than the speed of sound.The speed of light is roughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.-- Sound takes about 4.7 seconds to cover 1 mile.-- Light takes about 0.0000054 second to cover 1 mile.-- In the time it takes sound to travel one mile, light travels 881,741 miles .

What material allows sound to travel 4 times faster?
Sound travels about 15 times faster in steel compared to air.
How much faster does the speed of light travel than the speed of sound?
Speed of light in vacuum is 299792458 m/s or 983571056.43045 ft/s.Speed of sound in air of 20°C or 68°Fahrenheit is 343 m/s or 1125.32808 ft/s.You see that light is 874030 times faster than sound.
How does the speed of sound compare with its speed through liquids and solids?
When sound waves go through liquids, they travel five times as faster than they do on land. When sound waves go through solids though, they don't go as fast.
How many times faster does sound travel through steel than through air?
15 times faster
