The speed of every electromagnetic wave is the same. That includes television waves,
FM radio waves, heat waves, infrared light, green light, purple light and ultraviolet light
waves, microwaves, x-rays, AM radio waves, bluetooth signals, taxi radio waves, garage-
door-opener waves, and gamma ray waves ... because all of these waves are the same thing.
Their speed is 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second.

∙ 13y agoYes and No...electromagnetic waves travel at different speeds in different mediums, however in a vacuum all electromagnetic waves travel at c (3*10^8 m/s) or 186,000 miles per second i believe :P. Scientists created a scalar called the index of refraction for materials that refract light such as glass and water. The index of refraction corresponds to how fast the wave travels in that medium. This is calculated with this formula. index of refraction = speed of light in vacumn/speed of light in medium. for instance water's index of refraction is aproximately 1.3333 so we can say that it travels 33% faster in air then in water.

Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
What is a radio wave's relative wavelength and frequency compared to other waves in the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum?
Radio waves are the lowest frequency (and therefore longest wavelength) waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
How are radio waves different from other waves on the EM spectrum?
They have different wavelength.
How does the electromagnetic spectrum organize the different types of energy waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum organizes different types of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength or frequency.
What waves have the least energy in the electromagnetic spectrum?
. APEX: radio waves
What do electomagnetic waves do?
electromagnetic waves are energy transfered through out medium which is energy
What is another name for shocked?
I think electomagnetic waves...
Does electomagnetic waves travel at speed of light?
Yes. Light IS electromagnetic waves.
What are the properties of electromagnetic waves?
speedwavelengthfrequencypolarization
Will improvements in technology eventually show the entire electomagnetic spectrum to be from high mountain top observatories?
No, atmosphere will block some spectrum.
What was the content in the first bulb?
The bulb contains electomagnetic waves that makes the bulb light.
How does a microwave use waves?
A Microwave uses electomagnetic wavelengths, which can be as long as one meter.
What are electomagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic eaves are waves that can travel through the vacuum of outer space. Microwaves, x-rays, and TV are all kinds of electromagnetic waves.
How is visible light different from other electomagnetic waves?
It's composed of wavelengths to which the eye is sensitive.
The name given to the sound made by a shock wave is?
I think electomagnetic waves...
Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
How are frequency and wavelength of electomagnetic waves realted?
For any wave, frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave.
