Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves

What travel faster a radio signal or sound in air explain?

Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.


Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?

Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.

What travels faster the sound from a person or a radio waves sent to a radio?

Sound travels at the speed of sound, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light. The speed of radio waves is much faster than the speed of sound. If you're seated high in the stands at a baseball game, watching it on the field and listening to the game on the radio at the same time, it's quite common to hear the crack of the bat on the radio before you hear it straight from Home Plate.


Do sound waves or light waves travel faster?

In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.


Sound waves from a radio generally travel in what medium?

Sound waves from a radio typically travel through the air as it is a medium that allows for the propagation of sound waves. Sound waves are generated by the radio transmitter and then travel through the air as vibrations in the form of pressure waves to reach the receiver.


What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.


What are supersonic waves?

Supersonic waves are waves that can travel faster than normal sound waves.


Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air or water?

steel sound waves always go faster in solids


In what state of matter do sound waves travel faster?

Sound waves travel faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in a solid are closer together, allowing the sound waves to travel more efficiently through the denser medium.
