Which of the following has the highest velocity?
- ACosmic rays
- BLight
- CElectron
- DSupersonic wave
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Light
Explanation
Light travels at 3 × 10⁸ m/s in vacuum, the highest known velocity.
Nothing can travel faster than light; cosmic rays and electrons only approach but never exceed it.
A supersonic wave moves at sound-scale speeds (~hundreds of m/s), far slower than light.
