Electromagnetic waves are, by definition, light. So they travel at the exact same speed as light.
Also, a "Do" would be appropriate here, instead of an "IS".

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.
Do gama rays travel faster than the speed of light?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and all EM waves propagate at the speed of light through a vacuum.
Do other forms of radiation from the electromagnetic spectrum also travel at the speed of light?
Yes, all travel at the speed of light.
What do not travel at the speed of light?
Nothing except electromagnetic radiation do.
How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?
Gamma radiation is the fastest, as it is light. speed of gamma radiation = c (light speed) speed of beta radiation < c ( below light speed ) speed of alpha radiation < c/10 ( far below light speed )
Can X-rays travel faster then yellow light in a vacuum?
No. All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Light spectrum is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel better and faster (light speed in vacuum) in vacuum.
Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?
The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.
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.
Do electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed as a vacuum?
They travel faster
Do gamma particles travel fastest?
Gamma particles are photons - or electromagnetic waves. They travel at the speed of light; nothing can go faster than that.
Which travels faster radar or light?
Radar is accomplished by bouncing radio waves from the target.Radio waves and light are the same phenomenon ... both are electromagnetic waves,and their speeds are equal.
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.
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum -- the speed of light.
What speed do electromagnetic waves travel?
the speed of lightspeed of light
Do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Yes. This is because light is an electromagnetic wave. The speed of light is 300,000 km/sec.
Do gama rays travel faster than the speed of light?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and all EM waves propagate at the speed of light through a vacuum.
