How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
Why sound travel fast in solids?
because the atoms in solid are compact it helps sound to travel fast
What is fast light or sound?
Light is faster than sound
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
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.
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
Why sound travel fast in solids?
because the atoms in solid are compact it helps sound to travel fast
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.
What is fast light or sound?
Light is faster than sound
How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
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.
