Question

Sound travels at a speed which is much less than the speed of light.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Sound propagates through a medium at a finite speed. The sound of a thunder is heard a little later than the flash of light is seen. So, we can make out that sound travels with a speed which is much less than the speed of light. The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels.
