Light versus sound race.

Posted by Mr Mallon on June 19, 2010

Ever wondered which is faster between light and sound?

Well our new standard grade physics class along with our technician Mr McKenna set out to race sound and light.
We used a special machine that activated a flash lamp when it detected sound. So the light flashed at the same time as the sound was created.

Can you think of anything in nature where sound and light are created at the same time?
Who will win the race. Check out the video!
