Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Question

We need to determine which statement about the speed of sound and light is true.

Step 2: Comparing Speeds

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s). The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) meters per second (m/s).

Step 3: Analyzing the Statements
  • "Sound travels slower than light" means the speed of sound is less than the speed of light.
  • "Sound travels faster than light" means the speed of sound is greater than the speed of light.

Given the speeds mentioned above, it is clear that the speed of sound is much less than the speed of light.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Sound travels slower than light}}\)

- To create the 3-column home page, you can copy the index.html page you just completed and rename it index3column.html. Then, you can copy the main.css file and rename it main3column.css - Modify the link element for the style sheet in the 3-column home page so it refers to the new style sheet. - Move the existing sidebar before the section in the HTML, and assign an id to this sidebar. Then, modify the CSS so it refers to the sidebar by this id. - Add another sidebar after the section, and add the content shown above to this sidebar. You'll find this content in the prepare.txt file in the text folder. Be sure to assign an id to this sidebar so you can use it to refer to the sidebar in the CSS. Then, format the sidebar as shown above. - Increase the width of the page to 1200 px .
