What else can I help you with?
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.
What does propogate faster a sound signal or a radio signal?
Radio signals propagate faster than sound signals. Speed of light (radio) is about 186,000 mps Speed of sound is about 1100 fps (0.5 mps).
Which would be the first to reach Earth if a light signal and a radio signal were emitted from a star?
It would be a tie; both light and radio are electromagnetic waves, as are X-rays, gamma rays, ultra-violet and infrared. They all travel at the same speed, the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second, or 186,000 miles per second.
What sort of signal in GPS travel at the speed of light?
The GPS system is a network of devices that communicate by radio. Radio signals are electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Do astronaut travel at the speed of lite?
yes they travel faster No.. No they don't. Not even close. I've heard two theories regarding things that are faster than light. Which are the expansion of the universe and a Polarization Synchrotron device that makes radio waves travel faster than the speed of light. http://www.universetoday.com/2009/06/30/device-makes-radio-waves-travel-faster-than-light/
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
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 is the speed of a satellite signal?
The speed of a satellite signal is approximately the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. This means that signals transmitted from a satellite to Earth or vice versa travel at this high speed.
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.
Which travels faster a radio signal or a sound?
Radio signal being an electromagnetic wave does not need even a material medium. It has velocity so incredible which equals to that of light as 300,000 km per second. But sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium and its speed is just 350 m/s in air and some how higher in solids
Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?
The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.
Can radio signal travel through salt water?
Radio signals can travel through salt water.
How long would it take a radio signal to reach a star that is eleven light years away?
A radio signal would take eleven years to reach a star that is eleven light years away. This is because the speed of light is the fastest speed at which any form of information can travel through space.
