Differentiate between speed of sound and speed of light
Answered by admin @
The main difference I can think of is that the speed of light is a constant while the speed of sound will vary according to themedium the sound is traveling through. ... The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this).
