Speed Of Sound vs Speed Of Light
The first notable difference between the speed of sound and light is how fast they are. In Earth’s atmosphere, the speed of sound averages at about 761-miles per hour (1,225-kilometres per hour). That may see…
Speed of light
Until the early modern period, it was not known whether light travelled instantaneously or at a very fast finite speed. The first extant recorded examination of this subject was in ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks, Arabic scholars, and classical European scientists long debated this until Rømer provided the first calculation of the speed of light. Einstein's theory of special r…
Why does light travel faster than sound?
According to Einstein's Special Relativity, the speed of light has a unique status: it's a fundamental feature of our Universe, representing the maximum speed at which information …
Sound vs. Speed of Light
In dry air at room temperature, sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second (or 1235 kilometers per hour). On the other hand, the speed of light is incredibly fast, traveling at …
Speed of sound
The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about …
Why is light faster than sound?
The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. It’s faster through water and it’s even faster through steel. Light will travel through a vacuum at 300 million meters per second.
