No, not even close. Light travels at 300,000,000 meters/sec but sound only at 340 meters/sec
-- In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero, so you can't compare them there.-- In air at sea level, the speed of light is about 874 thousand times the speed of sound.
The speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, while sound travels at about 1,125 feet per second in air.
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

The speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, and the speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 km/s. When added together, the speed of sound and the speed of light do not directly add up because sound requires a medium to travel through, while light can travel in a vacuum.
The speed of a wave of sound or light can be changed by altering the medium through which it travels. For sound waves, the speed can be changed by changing the temperature, density, or composition of the medium. For light waves, the speed can be changed by changing the refractive index of the medium.
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
speed of light
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.

Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
Light; The speed of light is 300,000 km/s yet the speed of sound is just 343 m / s
Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.
