The speed of electromagnetic waves depends somewhat on the material

through which they're traveling. In vacuum (no material at all), the speed is

299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.

Is the speed of a sound wave slower than a electromagnetic wave?

Yes, the speed of sound waves is slower than the speed of electromagnetic waves. Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water, at a speed that depends on the properties of that medium. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through a vacuum at a speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second.
