IS THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS GREATER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND
Answers
Yes speed of light is greater than Speed of sound...
Yes, speed of light is greater than the speed of sound.
let's talk about it in detail:-
1.Light waves can travel in vacuum, whereas sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.
1.Light waves can travel in vacuum, whereas sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.2.The speed of light waves in air is 3 x m/s, while that of sound waves in air is 330 m/s at 0. This means that the speed of light is a million times greater than the speed the speed of sound in air. In fact, the speed of light is the greatest velocity known to man.

In fact, the speed of light is the greatest velocity known to man.3.The speed of light waves decreases in an optically denser medium. For e.g., the speed of light in water is 2.25 x m/s, while in glass, it is 2 x m/s. The speed of sound waves is more in solids, less in liquids and lesser in gases. For e.g., speed of sound in steel is 5100 m/s, in water it is 1450 m/s, while in air, it is 330 m/s.
