    Undergrad Can mechanical waves travel faster than EM waves in some medium?

    Based on Maxwell's Law, the speed of light can be defined by: $$c= \frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_{0}\mu_{0}}}$$ Based on that, can we find a medium where a mechanical wave travels faster than a electromagnetic one? If so, how does that works?
