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.
How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light at the speed of sound or something in between?
speed of light
Radio waves travelthough space at what speed?
In a vacuum radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second.
How does the sped of radio wave compare with speed of tv waves when both measured in vacuum?
Both radio waves and tv waves are electromagnetic waves. So both have the same speed in vacuum. Of course radio waves are of lower frequency compared to that of tv waves.
Which waves travel at the Speed of light?
All electromagnetic waves, including radio.
What is speed of radio waves?
radio waves travels at the speed of light i,e 299,792,458 meters
What is the travel speed of television waves?
The speed of television waves is exactly the same as the speed of FM radio, heat, infrared light, green light, purple light, ultraviolet light, microwaves, x-rays, AM radio, bluetooth signals, taxi radio, garage-door-opener waves, and gamma ray waves ... because all of these waves are the same thing. The speed is 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second. ADDED: It may help to realise the television is simply a special form of the radio.
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 electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at 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.
