It depends on the medium it is travelling though. In the vacuum of space, they travel at the same speed (c, the speed of light in vacuum). In air or water, the X-rays tend to just "rip" through the air at c... and get absorbed. Radio waves tend to propagate through the air at less than c, and keep on moving for long distances. Water tends to dampen and absorb both waves after just a few tens of meters (much less for x-rays) of travel path. It is not always the same event that triggers both x-ray and radio wave emissions. The processes generating both are sometimes offset in time. As a simile, the flash of lightning actually preceeds the bang of thunder, the neutrons from a supernova are emitted before the first detectable flare of a star shedding matter, and so on.
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is constant, that is, the speed of light.
Their frequency is much higher though, which makes them higher energy and more damaging to be exposed to. For example, if two guns were shot at a target, and both guns shot bullets at the same speed, but one gun shot 1 bullet per second (microwaves) and the other shot 5 bullets per second (x-rays). The bullets are traveling the same speed but the second gun would do more damage to the target in a much smaller span of time.
Light waves and radio waves travel faster then sound waves.
It has been know for thousands of years that you can see something happen in the distance before you hear it happen.
Radio waves and light waves are both electromagnetic waves and both travel at the speed of light.
The speed of a Radio wave is same as of Light and it is 3X108 meter /sec while sound travels with speed of 300 m/sec.
No. Both are electromagnetic waves, the only difference being their frequency
(wavelength). Their speeds are identical, and it's same as the speed of ultraviolet
light, heat, infrared radiation, and visible light of all colors.
No - both are forms of electro-magnetic radiation, so they travel at the same speed in the same medium, if the medium is permeable to them both.
No they do not. They both travel at the speed of light since they are both part of the electro-magnetic spectrum.
No. All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed.
We usually call that speed "the speed of light".
No.
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.
Gamma rays are very high energetic rays whereas radio waves are very weak in strength. However, radio waves can travel far distances and have large wavelength. Radio waves have large application in the field of telecommunication.
The wavelength of radio waves are on the magnitude of 10^4 meters, while gamma rays have a far shorter wavelength of around 10^-14. This implies that gamma rays carry a lot more energy than radio waves, due to their frequency being much higher than that of radio wave frequencies.

sound waves
Gamma rays are very high energetic rays whereas radio waves are very weak in strength. However, radio waves can travel far distances and have large wavelength. Radio waves have large application in the field of telecommunication.
Gamma particles are photons - or electromagnetic waves. They travel at the speed of light; nothing can go faster than that.
-- 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.
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
Yes, that's correct.
Radio and gamma waves are two types of electromagneticwaves.
The answer is gamma rays.
it travels in an em ( electromagnetic wave) ranging from gamma rays to radio waves
