Radio waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Microwaves are a type of radio wave and travel at the same speed.

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.
Do microwaves have more or less energy than radio waves?
Microwaves have more energy than radio waves. They have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, which results in more energy being carried by microwaves compared to radio waves.
Who travels faster in a vacuums x-rays or microwave?
As long as the x-ray and the microwave are in the same medium, they're both traveling at the same speed. So are radio waves, TV waves, heat waves, and every color of visible light.
What are microwaves light and radio waves examples of?
They are both electromagnetic waves.
What type of energy can travel trough empty space and travels in waves?
Electromagnetic energy can travel through empty space and travels in waves. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What wave viabrates faster radio wave or microwaves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, with frequencies above 3 GHz.
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
How does the speed of light compare to the speed of radio waves?
light travels faster than radio wavws
What travels in waves?
Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.
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.
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
Why frequency of microwaves is longer than radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves. That name is given to radio waves atfrequencies above 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
Who travels faster in a vacuums x-rays or microwave?
As long as the x-ray and the microwave are in the same medium, they're both traveling at the same speed. So are radio waves, TV waves, heat waves, and every color of visible light.
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
