Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?

The same.

Is the velocity of light more than velocity of radio waves?

No as they are both electromagnetic waves so have the same velocity but have differing wavelengths and frequencies.


What is the frequency of a light wave with a wavelength of 650?

The velocity of the light waves must be given before the frequency can be find.


Why is velocity of electromagnetic waves not measured?

Electromagnetic Waves all have constant velocity which are equal to the speed of light. It is only the frequency of the wave that differentiates ie between radio, gamma, X-ray. The velocity is always fixed at 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 which is equivalent to the speed of light.


What causses refraction?

The velocity of light (and other electromagnetic waves) depends on the medium through which it is travelling.

How matter waves are greater than the velocity of light?

There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.


Why the velocity x rays is less than the speed of light?

It isn't - at least, not in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed in the vacuum. Both visible light and x-rays are electromagnetic waves.


Photons are vibrating so some photon which are moving with a velocity of light and also vibreting in direction of moving light so photon tavell faster than light?

Light waves are made up of electrical waves and magnetic waves that are perpendicular to each other and support each other, they are also perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling so there are no vibrations in the direction the light travels.


Electromagnetic waves travel at the same what?

Electromagnetic waves in a vacuum all travel at the same velocity, the speed of light (about 3 x 10^8 m/s).


What is sound wave velocity?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves in air. Velocity of sound waves in air at NTP = 332 m/s.
