How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?

Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.


How fast do sound waves travel through a vacuum?

You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.

How fast would radio waves with a wave length of 250 m travel through a vacuum?

All forms of electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum at the same speed.It doesn't matter whether it's a wave of heat, radio, microwave, visible light,ultraviolet, X-ray, or gamma ray. It travels through vacuum at299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.


How fast does an electromagnetic wavelength move?

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves/radiation moves at the speed of light (c = 299792458 meters/second). However in matter the speed that electromagnetic waves/radiation moves is reduced by the reciprocal of the index of refraction for that material.

How fast is electronic dynamic waves travel to the space.?

I assume you mean electromagnetic waves. In outer space, they will travel at the speed of light (since light is also an electrodynamic wave). This speed is about 300,000 kilometers per second.


How fast do light waves travel in space?
