faster Light travels faster than sound. Light travels at 300 000 000 m/s whereas sound travels at around 340 m/s at room temperature in air. That's a 880,000x difference!
Light travels faster than sound in the universe. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second, whereas the speed of sound is significantly slower at about 343 meters per second in air.
In general, sound waves will travel faster in warmer temperatures compared to colder temperatures. This is because sound waves travel faster in materials with higher temperatures, as the molecules in the medium move more quickly and can transmit the sound energy more efficiently.
A photon travels fastest through a medium, followed by sound, then electrons. Photons travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is faster than the speed of sound or electrons in a medium. Sound travels at a much slower speed than light, while electrons generally move at speeds that are significantly slower than both photons and sound waves.
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Light travels faster than sound because it does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound does. Light travels through the vacuum of space at a speed of approximately 186,000 miles per second, while sound travels through air at a much slower speed of about 1,125 feet per second.
No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower. The numbers for each are thus: * Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
Light travels faster than sound in the universe. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second, whereas the speed of sound is significantly slower at about 343 meters per second in air.
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
No it actually travels slower.
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
no
Sound, in normal air. First lightning then thunder!
Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.
