What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
Light travels the fastest, with a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Sound travels at around 343 meters per second in air. Microwaves travel slower in glass compared to a vacuum, but their speed is still faster than sound. A rocket in space can travel at speeds up to several kilometers per second, depending on its propulsion system.
What does the speed of sound not depend on?
The speed of sound does not depend on the wavelength or frequency of the sound wave. It is mainly determined by the properties of the medium it travels through, such as temperature and density.
Witch is faster light or sound?
Light. Light travels 300,000,000 meters per second, whereas Sound is closer to 340 meters per second. This is why when you see a person hit a baseball from a distance, there is a delay in hearing the sound.
Which was faster voice or light?
light because when a lightning struck u can see hear the sound after the light
What travels faster through water light or sound?
Light travels faster through anything than sound does.Light also travels through a few things that sound can't.Light is around 150,000 times as fast.
Sound travels in water?
Yes. Sound can travel in any medium. (except vacuum)
What is the ratio of speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of sound in air?
In a rough, round figure? 930,000 to 1. Sound travels roughly 1/5 of a mile per second in air. Light travels 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. In five seconds sound travels one mile. In five seconds, light travels 930,000 miles in a vacuum.
What happens when sound travels through a scienctific vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, scientific or any other kind
How does sound travels something?
Sound travels by making pressure waves. The wave travels through the substance at various speeds, depending how hard the substance is. In vacuum there is no pressure, so sound cannot travel.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound travels faster through a solid than through a vacuum. In a solid, sound waves propagate through the material's molecules, leading to faster transmission. In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transmit sound, so it cannot travel at all.
What is wrong a sound travels in a straight line b sound travels as a wave c sound is a form of energy d sound travels faster in vacuum than in air?
A is wrong. B is right C is right D is wrong A: Sound travels as a wave, therefore it does not travel in a straight line. B: Sound travels in a wave. C: The sound wave is a form of energy; all waves are. D: Sound cannot travel in a vaccuum. A is not entirely wrong.
Which travels sound or light?
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
How fast does light travel than sound?
it is 3.5 billion times fast in a milli-second I don't know where this answer came from or what it means BUT - sound travels at roughly 700 mph in air at sea level; - light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum; - assuming we compare sound in air (as it can't travel in a vacuum) and light in a vacuum (as it can slow through a medium such as air or water), then light travels at 830,000 times the speed of sound.
What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
Light travels the fastest, with a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Sound travels at around 343 meters per second in air. Microwaves travel slower in glass compared to a vacuum, but their speed is still faster than sound. A rocket in space can travel at speeds up to several kilometers per second, depending on its propulsion system.
Can sound energy travel through the vacuum of space?
No sound can travel through space. Sound travels by vibrating adjacent molecules. The sound wave travels along these molecules until it dissipates with distance. In the vacuum of space, there are no molecules (this is not considering celestial bodies like planets or meteors because they are not a part of the vacuum), so sound cannot travel.
What is the difference between light and sound?
Light and sound are both forms of energy, but they travel in different ways. Light travels in straight lines as electromagnetic waves, while sound travels as mechanical waves through a medium like air or water. Light can travel through a vacuum, but sound needs a medium to propagate. Additionally, light travels much faster than sound, with a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, while sound travels at a speed of about 1,125 feet per second in air.
Sound travels faster in a air b water c steel d vacuum e sound travels at about the same speed in all of these?
Its steel because sound is a compressional wave and moves better through more densely packed matter. Sound moves slower and slower the less matter is present (ie higher up in the atmosphere with lower pressure sound travels slower) and wont travel at all in the absence of matter which is why you cant here anything in space (a vacuum.) Go stick your head under water and listen, you'll notice a difference in how fast sound moves. The speed of sound is not a constant.
