Radio waves travel so much faster than sound waves that a broadcast voice can be heard sooner 18,000 km away than in the back of the room in which it originated.

That's not true. Because the radio wave has to be converted back to a sound wave for the distant listener and that sound wave had to travel to his ear.

Why? It's a scenario to help the reader understand the speed in which radio waves vs sound waves relate, Newton.

Thought is was " fact" of the day. Not " can be true if x,y,z variables are met"

Just sayin...

'short facts than can be debunked if you wanna get high school physics technical"  :nod:  :rofl:

It is a fact.... Einstein. Radio waves are faster then sound waves. Sweet Jesus man, I rather argue with MD.

Wasn't argueing. Of course Radio waves are faster. I was just stating that the example is contigent on the distance of the listener to the radio on far end.

Thought these posts were supposed to enspire conversation :dunno:

1) back of the room....a --voice waves--b-----voice waves-----y--voice waves--z ....front of room = fast

2) back of the room....a---voice waves--b-----radio waves-----y--voice waves--z ....18,000km away =faster

Assuming a-b equals 1 ms, b-y equals 1 ms, and y-z equals 1ms.

Using b-y as the changing factor, 2 is so fast that it reaches the distance of 18000km completing the transmission before 1 can complete the distance of a room. Making the statement true.

Radio waves travel so much faster than sound waves that a broadcast voice can be heard sooner 18,000 km away than in the back of the room in which it originated.

chances are anyways... if you are 18,000km away (11,250 miles) you won't hear whatever sound was made w/ out the use of radio waves :)

I can't hear it even if it was 3 ft away so :sit: all of you
