How fast can a neutrino travel?

Neutrinos travel at approximately the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This makes them one of the fastest particles in the universe.


Why light can travel very fast?

Light can travel very fast because it consists of massless particles called photons that move at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is nearly the fastest speed possible in our universe, governed by the laws of physics.


How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.


How Fast Does Light Travel For Kids?

Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). That means light can travel around the Earth about 7.5 times in one second! It's the fastest thing in the universe that we know of.


What does sound energy and light energy have in common?

From what I understand, Sound, Light and Heat are all forms of Energy. Sound is audible vibration at a relatively low frequency, Light is energy at a much higher frequency, and heat is energy at an even higher frequency. I added this question to the physics category, as while chemistry requires or produces energy, energy itself is a fundamental part of physics.

Can light travel as fast as sound?

no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound


Which travel faster in coated glass pipe sound or light?

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.


What are similarities of light and sound?

They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.


Can the speed of sound travel faster than the speed of light?

No. Light in vacuum is roughly 880 thousand timesas fast as sound in air.


How fast do echoes travel?

About 1100 feet per second, which is the speed of sound.


How fast can a neutrino travel?

How fast can light and sound travel?

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.


How fast does light travel than sound?

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.


Which is fast sound or light?

Both are fast but light is faster by far.

Some fast do light rays travel?

Yes, they travel some fast!
