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!

Does light travel slower then sound?

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"??????


Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?

sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.


What travel fast light or sound in the universe?

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.


Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?

Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.


Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and 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.


Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?

Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.

Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?

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.
