The speed of light in cold air is approximately 3×10⁸ meters per second. The speed of sound in cold is approximately 3×10² meters per second. The speed of light in cold air is hiw many times the speed of sound in cold air?

Answer 1

To determine how many times faster the speed of light is compared to the speed of sound in cold air, we divide the speed of light by the speed of sound:

(3x10^8 meters per second) / (3x10^2 meters per second)

Simplifying this expression, we divide 3 by 3 and 10^8 by 10^2:

= 10^6

Therefore, the speed of light in cold air is 1,000,000 times faster than the speed of sound in cold air.
