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
All 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
All 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
All electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum at the same speed.
All electromagnetic waves travel the same speed (speed of light) in a vacuum.
All types of electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light.
which type of electromagnetic wave travels fastest
Any of them, in a vacuum.
They all travel at the speed of light.
All 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.
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
space probe
meteoroid
asteriods
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.
Light travels fastest through space which has no air. Space is a vacuum which is the fastest way for light to travel.
No, light travels fastest through a vacuum (ie, in space). This applies to the entire EM spectrum.
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
light in a vacuum
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.
Light travels fastest through empty space.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
