Since the speed of light is of the order of 1,000,000 times the speed of
sound, I would agree with you.   (2.9979 * 10^8 m/s (always) as against 340
m/s for an ICAO atmosphere).

 

The figure of 1,000,000 is an easy one to remember.

This error does not affect my argument that a 1 m wavelength wave has a very
different frequency depending on whether it is a sound wave or a radio wave.
