Same as speed of light "C". Gamma Rays are also form of Electro Magnetic Radiations
All EMR incl Light travel at same speed in same medium.
Which is normally approximated to 3 x 10^8 m/s

How fast do gamma rays move?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, therefore they move at the speed of light.
What is the speed of gamma rays in air?
negligibly less than c.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge. True or false?
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
In a vacuum gamma rays travel at the same speed as radio waves?
Yes, that's correct.
What is the typical velocity of gamma rays?
The value obtained is (2.983+/-0.015)×1010 centimeters per second.
Why do gamma rays travel at the speed of light?
Gamma rays travel at the speed of light because both light and gamma rays are variants of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation.
Do gamma rays travel the speed of light?
Gamma rays travel exactly the speed of light because gamma rays are light
How does the speed of light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
Same speed - light and gamma rays are both electromagnetic waves, but with different frequencies.
What is the speed gamma rays?
it is waddaa ass
Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
How fast do gamma rays move?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, therefore they move at the speed of light.
Is there a connection between the speed of alpha beta and gamma radiation which?
beta equal to 2alpha and gamma equal to 3alpha
Which ray is the fastest gamma alpha beta?
Gamma rays. Since they are electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light.
How do you find the momentum of an electron when it is moving with a speed of 0.75c?
The momentum in special relativity is given by the following formula: p = gamma*m*c^2 where c is the speed of light, m is the mass of (in this case) the electron and gamma is the so-called gamma factor, which is: gamma = 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) where v is the speed of the electron. Using v = 0.75c we have for gamma: gamma = 1/sqrt(1-0.75^2) which is about 1.5. Thus we have: p = 1.5*m*c^2.
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 )
What is the speed of gamma rays in air?
negligibly less than c.
Is it true that gamma rays travel with constant velocity?
Yes. Gamma Rays are photons (like visible light, just at another part of the electromagnetic spectrum). They travel with constant velocity at the speed of light (only in a vacuum). Although the original speed of the gamma ray varies.
