All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. How far they travel depends on when or whether they hit an object that they cannot pass through.

What are the similarities between light and gamma rays?
Light ray and gamma ray both travel in a straight line.
Which ray is the fastest gamma alpha beta?
Gamma rays. Since they are electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light.
Which is longer a gamma wave a microwave a visible light or an x ray?
microwave
Do gamma ray bursts emit light faster than the speed of light?
Gamma ray bursts emitting light! What is meant by this? Any way gamma ray coming out of a radioactive nucleus is also an electromagnetic radiation as light but with very much higher frequency. Gamma ray also travels with the same speed as light does. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, no radiation can travel with a velocity higher than that of light
Is it true that gamma rays travel with constant velocity?
Yes. Gamma Rays are photons (like visible light, just at another part of the electromagnetic spectrum). They travel with constant velocity at the speed of light (only in a vacuum). Although the original speed of the gamma ray varies.
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
How much faster is a gamma ray than x-ray?
I think that they are both the same, as they are both electromagnetic radiation. Hence they both travel at the speed of light.
Is gamma ray a visible light?
No, gamma rays are not visible to the human eye.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?
Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light?
Waves the have a wavelength slightly shorter than the visible light are as follows: 1. Ultraviolet 2. X-rays 3. Gamma rays
