Based on the speed of sound being 340 m/s and that of light being 299,792,458 m/s. we get the speed of light being ~881,742 times that of sound. So if sound goes 1cm then light will travel 881,742 cm or 8,817.42 m.

What travels faster the speed of light or the speed of sound?

The speed of light is nearly a million times faster than the speed of sound.The speed of light is roughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.-- Sound takes about 4.7 seconds to cover 1 mile.-- Light takes about 0.0000054 second to cover 1 mile.-- In the time it takes sound to travel one mile, light travels 881,741 miles .


What distance does light travel in vaccume when sound travels 1100 feet in air?

That's aproximately the distance sound travels in one second, in air. Since light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, the answer is, approximately 300,000 kilometers.

How can light and sound travel at a same time in televisions?

They don't really travel at the same speed, but, on television, the distance they travel is so short, that the difference between the speed of sound and the speed of light is almost non-existant.


Why is there delay in your hearing of sound?

The delay in hearing sound can be due to factors such as distance from the sound source, speed of sound travel, or processing time in the auditory system. Sound waves take time to travel from the source to your ears, and then your brain needs time to process and interpret the sound signals.
