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.


Why do mountains interfere with FM radio reception?

FM radio works like light. If a shadow is made (something in the way) , you get less light. Radio waves work in a straight line. If something is in the way, less radio waves. The rule is broken here if you use Am radio waves. Low clouds can make the waves bounce between the clouds and the ground and can travel as far as 1000 miles or further. So the answer is yes.


What sort of signal in GPS travel at the speed of light?

The GPS system is a network of devices that communicate by radio. Radio signals are electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and they travel at the same speed as light does.


Which gases does sound travel through?

Sound can travel as long as there is something for it to travel through. This could be a gas (such as air), a liquid (such as water) or a solid (such as a metal). In outer space there is no air for the sound to travel though, so astronauts can not talk with each other unless they use a radio. Radio waves and light waves can travel through space, that is why we are able to receive light from the sun. Source: www.examville.com


What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?

What is speed of radio transmission?

186,000 miles per second


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.


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.


Which waves travel at the Speed of light?

All electromagnetic waves, including radio.


What can travel though space without a medium?

Light, radiation, radio waves.


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.


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.
