yes
the speed of light in a vacuum is different than the speed of light in our atmosphere or another planets atmosphere
the speed of sound is also different in the air than when it goes through a solid or liquid
Addional answer
The first answer above not quite correct. The speed of light is the same regardless of what it passes through. It's 186,282 miles per second, but there is a small change due to the refractive index of different materials. But this difference is much less than the difference of the speed of sound in different materials
If we go even further, it's the same to all observers (as Einstein would say). That means that even if you were travelling at close to the speed of light, it would appear to be travelling past or towards you at the speed of light. Now we're into relativity!

How do different materials affect light and sound waves?
Light slows as it enters material with a higher density whereas sound waves speed up in materials of higher density. Light bends towards the "normal" as it passes from a less dense medium to a higher density medium ie air into glass. Both sound and light can be reflected from surfaces.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
What is farster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
Does sound travel with the same speed through all materials?
no......... the speed changes as it goes through different materials example: when sound goes through air it is faster then when it transfers to go through water because water is more dense and there are more particles for it to have to pass through

Why sound travels in different speed in different materials?
Sound travels at different speeds in different materials due to differences in the density and elasticity of each material. Sound travels faster in solid materials compared to liquids, and faster in liquids compared to gases. The atomic structure of the material also affects the speed of sound propagation.
Compare the speed of light to the speed of sound?
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

How does sound bend as in Sound Refraction?
Sound bends or refracts when it passes through mediums of different densities or temperatures. When the speed of sound changes in a medium, the direction of the sound wave can also change due to the change in propagation speed. This phenomenon is similar to how light refracts when passing through different materials.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
Why do waves change speed as they travel through earths layer?
Different materials have different velocities of sound propagation.
Why does light travel at different speeds in different materials?
Light travels at different speeds in different materials because its speed is influenced by the material's refractive index, which is a measure of how much the material slows down light. When light enters a material with a higher refractive index, it is slowed down more compared to when it travels through a material with a lower refractive index. This difference in speed causes light to travel at different speeds in different materials.
How is the speed of light and speed of sound related?
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
How are light and sound different?
Different is the speed of propagation. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic or sound waves in air - Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?
speed of light
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.
What is farster the speed of light or the speed of sound?
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
