Depending what you mean, it may be precisely the speed of light. If you add velocities at relativistic speeds (i.e., close to, or equal to, the speed of light), you can't do the simple addition; you need special formulae, which result in speeds that never exceed the speed of light. For more information, the Wikipedia has an article on "velocity addition".

How fast is the speed of sound and speed of light added together?

The speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, and the speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 km/s. When added together, the speed of sound and the speed of light do not directly add up because sound requires a medium to travel through, while light can travel in a vacuum.


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.


Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?

speed of light


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.


Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?

The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.


When was The Sound the Speed the Light created?

The Sound the Speed the Light was created on 2009-10-06.


Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?

Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air


Is the speed of light or sound faster?

The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.


What is faster in speed light or sound?
