Light is faster than sound
Light travels faster than sound in the universe. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second, whereas the speed of sound is significantly slower at about 343 meters per second in air.
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.
Diffraction of sound waves is more easily observed because sound waves have longer wavelengths compared to light waves. This allows sound waves to diffract around obstacles more effectively, producing noticeable effects like the bending of sound around corners or obstacles. Light waves, with their shorter wavelengths, tend to diffract less noticeably and require specific conditions to observe diffraction effects.
Light travels much faster than sound, so the flash of light from the cannon reaches your eyes almost instantly while the sound takes time to travel through the air to reach your ears. This difference in speed causes the delay between seeing the flash and hearing the sound.
Loudness is to brightness as sound is to light.
Both are fast but light is faster by far.
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
No matter what you do to either of them, light is always going to travel at least several hundred times as fast as sound, and most generally about 800 thousand times as fast as sound. Sound will never travel faster than light, in any situation.
Light is almost a million times faster.
No. Light in vacuum is roughly 880 thousand timesas fast as sound in air.
About 1100 feet per second, which is the speed of sound.
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Sound travels at around 765 m.p.h., but that can cary a bit depending on temperature and humidity.

They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.
it is 3.5 billion times fast in a milli-second I don't know where this answer came from or what it means BUT - sound travels at roughly 700 mph in air at sea level; - light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum; - assuming we compare sound in air (as it can't travel in a vacuum) and light in a vacuum (as it can slow through a medium such as air or water), then light travels at 830,000 times the speed of sound.
The A in "fast" is a short A sound. (The long A would make it sound like faced.)
