Question

Why sound travels slower than light?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Light travels faster than sound even in water. If you are asking why sound is slower when it is in air than water, and why light is faster in air than in water, here is why:

Light waves are electromagnetic transversal waves. They can travel through a vacuum and any particles they contact slow them down. So when they move through denser water they are slowed down more.

Sound waves are compressional waves that occur by particles hitting each other and moving the vibration along. Water molecules are more tightly compacted together so the vibrations can travel more easily than through air.
