matter waves as waves travel faster.. however you must know that we assume this condition to balance the Kinetic energy and energy of a photon according to plank's quantum theory and have no experimental proof about it :)

∙ 11y agoAccording to current theory, it seems likely that nothing can travel faster than light. More specifically, no matter, energy or information can be transmitted faster than the speed of light.

What is faster then sound waves?
speed of light
IS electromagnetic waves travel faster than speed of light?
Electromagnetic waves are, by definition, light. So they travel at the exact same speed as light.Also, a "Do" would be appropriate here, instead of an "IS".
Do gama rays travel faster than the speed of light?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and all EM waves propagate at the speed of light through a vacuum.
Is there proof that the speed of light is not the speed limit?
The speed of light is only the speed limit for information. There are many experiments showing that we can made "non-information" travel faster than the speed of light. For example, in quantum mechanics the phase velocity is faster than the speed of light but the group velocity is slower (or equal to) the speed of light. Also, if two light waves are traveling at the speed of light and they interact, e.g. they constructively interfere with each other, the interference can travel faster than the speed of light. Once again, the speed limit of light is only on information. The word "information" is sometimes tricky to define though.
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
What is faster then sound waves?
speed of light
What can you say about the speed of a boat that makes a bow wave?
that the object moves faster than the speed of the waves
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.
What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?
They both travel at the same speed, the speed of light
How does the speed of light compare to the speed of radio waves?
light travels faster than radio wavws
What type of waves move faster than speed of light?
So far nothing is found to move at a faster speed than that of light.
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
What Is the speed of infrared waves?
Like all light waves, infrared light moves at a speed of 300,000,000 meters per second (186,000 miles per second).
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
What creates light waves?
The wind and the temperature of the water makes it move, and the heavier it is the faster it moves.
What moves faster an x ray or a microwave?
All electromagnetic waves move at the same speed, at least in vacuum. X-rays and microwaves ... as well as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, heat, and visible light ... are all electromagnetic waves, and travel at the same speed.
What type of energy wave moves the fastest?
Some kinds of waves move at the speed of light - notably light itself, and other electromagnetic waves.
