300,000 kilometers/second, or 300,000,000 meters/second.
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
Sound waves cannot travel in 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.
Since space is a vacuum, light travels at approximately 300,000,000 metres per second.

They travel at the same speed of light that is 299,792,458 msec-1
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.
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.
-- radio waves-- microwaves-- heart waves-- infrared waves-- all of the visible colors-- ultraviolet waves-- X-rays-- gamma rays
all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through space. This is the speed of light, or 300 000 000 m/s (3x108 m/s).
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.
Since space is a vacuum, light travels at approximately 300,000,000 metres per second.
the speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s
