Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound. Light travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), whereas sound travels through air at about 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second).
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
Why do you see fireworks before hearing them?
We see the firework works first because the because burning emits light . It is a fact that it travels faster than sound . So the sound energy produced during the burning of fire work reaches us late . So we hear the sound after vizualizing it.
Sound travels faster through what?
The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?

Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?

What does the light travel faster than the sound?
Light travels faster than sound because it does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound does. Light travels through the vacuum of space at a speed of approximately 186,000 miles per second, while sound travels through air at a much slower speed of about 1,125 feet per second.

Does the sound of a bomb explosion travel faster in air than the sound produced by a chirping bird?
No. Speed depends on how dense the material is that the sound travels through- it travels faster in dense water than in light air. The VOLUME of the sound has no bearing on the speed that it travels.
What travels faster than a rocket?
