What else can I help you with?
Does sound travel faster in a like in summer or winter?
Sound typically travels faster in warmer temperatures, such as in summer. This is because the speed of sound increases with higher temperatures due to the increased molecular motion and collisions within the medium through which sound is traveling.
What travels about a million times faster that sound and air?
Do you mean 'than' instead of 'that' ? Well if you do, I think the answer is LIGHT. Light travels in straight lines and as far as I'm concerned it moves faster than anything. I know this is a very short question, but the answer is simple. If you ask 'why' you can just search light and you will be able to find out why.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
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.
Why does light travel slowest through solids while sound travels fastest through solids?
The simplest explanation would be that light reflects/refracts as it passes through objects, which takes time/slows the light down, while sound is passed through its required medium (i.e. no sound in space, I know, space battles aren't going to be nearly as awesome without sound) the sound propagates by bumping each atom of its medium against the next atom in the medium. The closer the mediums atoms are packed together, the faster the sound can hit the next atom and send the signal.
What is faster than sound?
I did some research over the Internet, and the best answer I can come up with as to why light is faster than sound is that the speed that sounds travels at depends on the density of the air, and the density of air depends on the temperatureof the air. Thus, sound travels at a lower rate of speed than light, depending on the temperature, unless it is extremely hot outside. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters-per-second (m/s), which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This speed is usually the same, no matter the temperature or density of the air when light is traveling through it. The speed is sometimes reduced when traveling through media that have particles containing mass, as it will bounce off of the particles. The speed reduction, as far as I know, is not significant. Sound waves travel at a lower rate of speed due to the fact that the speed sound travels at depends on the density of air, and the density of air depends on the temperature. I found a website that allows you to calculate the speed of sound. The "speed of sound calculator" allows you to enter a certain temperature in Fahrenheit, Celcius, Kelvin or Rankine, and it will convert the temperature degree into five measurements of speed. According to the website, which is in the Sources box, the hotter the temperature, the faster the speed of sound.
How do you know that light travels faster than sound?
during lightening we will experience the light first and sound later. it is the good proof.
What travels even faster than light?
Nothing that we know of.

What gose faster light or sound?
Light can move faster. Did you know that light from the Sun can reach Earth in just 8 minutes?
Is there any object which has greater speed than sound?
Sound is actually not an object. It is the ability for vibrations to occur in a medium with a regular fixation of vibrations (Hz). The speed of sound is then again variable, depending on what medium it is travelling through. Like it travels 3 times slower in air at sea level than what it would than sound in 60 degree water because of the water's density levels (compactness of the molecules to transfer the sound easier and quicker). Sound in metal is still faster, it is roughly 16 times faster than sound in air at sea level. So as you can see you have to be specific about the speed of sound and in what medium. Light of course can be comparable to sound because it travels in a similar fashion to what sound does. It has amplitude , Hz, a period and travels in waves (propagated). So the answer to the question is that light is the fastest known thing. We still do not know too much about light, as we know what it is and what it does and we still have no idea what light is.
How does sound travel in air compared to how it travels with water?
oh i think its because um um i dont know um, um i know, though! Air is less dense, so sound travels quickly through it. Water is more dense than air, so sound does not penetrate it as well...so um, um i do know :) haha
Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?
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.
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.
How are sound and light energy alike?
Sound is made out of waves and Light is made out of things called wave-particles and are kind of like waves, but not always. But if you mean Sound energy and Light energy I don't really know wat you mean with Sound energy
Does sound travel faster through different gases?
I learned the other day, in Physics that sound travels faster through warm, dense, humid air, then cold, dry, less dense air. I don't know why though.
