What is faster in speed light or sound?

Light; The speed of light is 300,000 km/s yet the speed of sound is just 343 m / s


What is the speed of sound and the speed of light difference in km per s?

The speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s usually rounded to 300,000 km/sec.The speed of sound at sea level is 343 m/s.The difference is 299,792,115 m/s.That's 99.999 886 % of the speed of light, and may also be rounded to 300,000 km/sec.


Is light or sound faster?

Light is faster than sound.


How long would it take at the speed of sound to travel 1 light year?

It would take approximately 1 year to travel 1 light year at the speed of sound, which is around 767 mph (1,234 km/h). However, it is important to note that the speed of sound is much slower than the speed of light, which travels about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 km/s).


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.


Does light or sound travel faster in air?

Light travels almost a million times faster in air. There is very little difference between the speed of light in a vacuum as in air. It is around 0.01% slower in air. Because of the difference between the speed of light and sound you can estimate the distance of a lightning strike. For every 3 seconds between the flash and the sound of thunder the lightning strike is 1 km away or 5 seconds for a mile. The actual speeds are light 300,000 km per second speed of sound 0.33 km per second.


Is it the speed of light or light speed?

Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s


How many times is speed of light compared to sound?

The speed of sound is the velocity of sound through a mechanical (elastic) medium. And the difference is between the speed of sound and light is that Light travel faster then the sound.Light traveling through vacuum is roughly 879 thousand timesfaster than sound traveling through air at sea level.


Is the speed of sound as speed of light?

The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.


Why sound travels faster then light in television?

It doesn't. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/second; sound travels roughly a million times slower. By the way, the light you see and the sound you hear in television doesn't travel as light or sound for most of the way - the information is encoded in a radio wave (which also travels at the speed of light). Only in the television set is the information transformed back into normal light, and sound.


How can you tell from a thunderstorm that sound waves and light waves travel at different speeds?

The speed of light is 300,000 km per second where as that of sound is simply 330 m/s. So we first see the lightning and hear the thunder sound a little bit later. This confirms that both light and sound travel at different speed


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.
