No.
We call it the "speed of light", but it's also the speed of radio, X-rays, heat,
ultraviolet, microwave, gamma rays, etc, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed, as long as they're in the same medium (vacuum or material substance).

Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?
The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.
What term is used to describe the collection that includes gamma rays x-rays ultraviolet light visible light infrared radiation and radio waves?
All travel at the same speed through a vacuum
What is the only time that light waves travel at the speed of light?
Light always travels at the speed of light. The only time that's 299,792,458 meters per second ( " c " ) is when it's traveling in vacuum.
Radio waves travelthough space at what speed?
In a vacuum radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second.
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
Does light travel faster in a vacuum?
Yes.
What does light travel faster in?
It travels fastest in a vacuum.
Does light travel faster in glass then it does in a vacuum?
No, slower.
Is visible light faster than radio waves in a vacuum?
No. Their speeds are identical.
Does one type of light travel faster then another in a vacuum?
no
What does light travel faster through?
Light travels fastest through vacuum.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Light spectrum is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel better and faster (light speed in vacuum) in vacuum.
Can anything travel faster than the speed of light through a vacuum?
No.
Does x ray travel faster than visible light in medium?
No.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound does not travel in a vacuum. It needs a medium in which to travel (unlike light) and so sound cannot travel in a vacuum. However, in a solid sound travels faster than in air.
Can X-rays travel faster then yellow light in a vacuum?
No. All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light.
X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light?
No. Both travel at exactly the same speed. The speed of light.
