Light (in a vacuum) travels at approximately 3 x 108 m/s.
Sound in air at standard temperature and pressure travels at approximately 300 m/s.
Thus, light is about a million times faster than sound.
No, sound is not faster than eyesight. Light travels faster than sound, with light moving at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, compared to sound traveling at 343 meters per second in the air at room temperature.
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
Nothing within the known laws of physics can travel faster than light in a vacuum. However, certain theoretical particles known as tachyons are hypothesized to travel faster than light. Additionally, gravitational waves can also travel at the speed of light.
Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.
Concorde is a commercial supersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds over twice the speed of sound, but it cannot fly faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
Light is faster than sound.
Light is faster than sound. Light travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), whereas sound travels through air at about 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second).
Light is about 800,000 faster (compared to the speed of sound in air).
No.
Because light travels significantly faster than sound. Speed of light (in vacuum) = 299 792 458 m/s Speed of Sound (at sea-level ) = 340.29 m/s
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.
No, sound is not faster than eyesight. Light travels faster than sound, with light moving at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, compared to sound traveling at 343 meters per second in the air at room temperature.
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.

sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
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.
