Yes, light travels faster than sound. You can tell from several
examples. The best would probably be that of lightning and thunder. The next
time during a storm, if you notice when lightning flashes across the sky and
when you hear thunder, you will find that it is always the lightning that
flashes before the thunder. This is because lightning (i.e. light) travels
faster than thunder (i.e. sound), and reaches you faster, so that you see the
lightning before you hear the thunder. In fact, light is enormously faster than
sound. Light travels at 300,000,000 metres per second (i.e. 300 million metres
per second), while poor old sound travels only at 330 metres per second.
