They all travel the same speed in space. Which travel the farthest in the same amount of time are microwaves. Think of it this way...walk to the park in the city 8 blocks away by moving from one side of the sidewalk to the other. - or - walk down one block, make a left, walk one block make a right, walk one block make a right, walk two blocks make a left, walk one block make a left, walk two blocks make a right...etc You walked the same speed for both....you got to the park faster by just side to side on the same sidewalk

∙ 13y agoAll electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum. The difference between EM waves are their wavelengths and frequencies.
Wavelength * Frequency = speed of light
So, all EM waves travel at speed of light in a vacuum

∙ 10y agoAll the electromagnetic waves (gamma rays ,x rays, ultra violet light, visible light, infrared light, micro waves ,radio waves ) travels at the speed of light that is 299792.458 km/s in vaccum

∙ 9y agoAll electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed; the speed of light, abbreviated "c". This is approximately equal to 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second.

When solar energy travels from the sun through a vacuum of space to the earth?
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
A machine that travels from earth through space is called?
space probe
What travels through space and does not fall to earth?
meteoroid
What is a small rocky body that travels through space?
asteriods
Light from the sun travels through space to the earths atmosphere What will light waves do when they move from empty space into matter made up of different gases?
They will slow down slightly compared to their speed in vacuum, they will bend slightly as they enter the atmosphere, and they will follow a path through it that continues to curve slightly.
What materials can light travel through faster than it travels through air?
Light travels fastest through space which has no air. Space is a vacuum which is the fastest way for light to travel.
Is medium is necessary for light?
No, light travels fastest through a vacuum (ie, in space). This applies to the entire EM spectrum.
When solar energy travels from the sun through a vacuum of space to the earth?
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
Does light travels slowest through space?
As the medium through which light propagates in space is closes to a vacuum, light propagates very well in space. However, it travels at the same speed as it would on earth, as light travels at 299,792,458m/s in a vacuum, regardless of where that vacuum is located. the light travels in same speed whether it travels in space or earth.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
What type of light travels the fastest?
In a vacuum all wavelengths of light travel at the same speed, c. In other mediums the speed of light is dependent on the refractive index of that material; v=c/n where v is the speed through the medium and n is the refractive index. The refractive index if different for different materials and can have fairly complex dependence on the wavelength of light. The fastest type of light is therefore dependent on the medium through which it is travelling.
Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?
Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.
What evidence do we have that light travel through a vacuum?
You create a vacuum in a lab, and then shine a light through it, and there is experimental proof that light travels through a vacuum. Alternatively, take the fact that light travels through space - if light could not travel through a vacuum, no light from the stars, the moon or the sun would ever reach our planet.
Can sound energy travel through the vacuum of space?
No sound can travel through space. Sound travels by vibrating adjacent molecules. The sound wave travels along these molecules until it dissipates with distance. In the vacuum of space, there are no molecules (this is not considering celestial bodies like planets or meteors because they are not a part of the vacuum), so sound cannot travel.
Can microwave travel through vacuum?
A microwave is near the "red" side of the electromagnetic scale. All electromagnetic travels at the same rate. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation which travels through a vacuum (space). Thereofore, being a part of electormagnetic radiation, microwaves will travel through a vacuum.
How can the command centre communicate with the space ship in space if outer space is a vacuum?
They use radio waves which are a type of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum Ligth is a type of electromagnetic wave and that travels through space from the sun and the stars.
