An example that shows light travels faster than sound are:

- You see the lightning before you hear the thunder.

- You see the light coming from the lighthouse before you hear the foghorn.

Unless the storm is right overhead, you will see the lightning before you hear the thunder.

An experiment you can do to prove that light travels faster than sound is you can ask your friend to turn on a torch and make a huge noise at the same time from quite a distance from where you are standing. If you have a large distance between you and your friend, you will probably see the light before you hear the sound.
