Yes. They're both forms of the same thing, called "electromagnetic radiation".
Other forms you may have heard of include heat, microwave, ultraviolet, and
X-rays. All the same thing, and travel at the same speed.

What travel faster a radio signal or sound in air explain?
Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
What speed to em waves travel?
speed of light
What speed do television waves travel in air?
If the information for television goes through the air, the waves used are electromagnetic waves; specifically of the type called RADIO WAVES.All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light when in a vacuum: about 300,000 km/second. In air, the speed is almost the same as in a vacuum.
Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?
-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light at the speed of sound or something in between?
speed of light
Which waves travel at the Speed of light?
All electromagnetic waves, including radio.
Radio waves travelthough space at what speed?
In a vacuum radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second.
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
What speed do tv rays travel at?
Radio (and TV) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and as such travel at the speed of light.
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.
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
How fast does theRadio waves travel?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light 300 Million meters/second, 300e6 meters/second
Does radio waves always travel the speed of light?
Radio waves, like light, is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Other types of electromagnetic radiation include X-rays, infrared radiation, and gamma rays. All electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light.
What speed do radio waves travel in air?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet, XRays, and gamma rays are all part of the "electromagnetic spectrum". They are all electromagnetic radiation and they all travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). The only difference between them is their frequencies (or wavelengths)
