The light wave, which is electromagnetic energy, is the fastest wave. The speed of light, which is a physics constant, is the speed of light in a vacuum, and no object with mass can be accelerated to this speed.

Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.
When is the only time that light waves travel at thespeedof light?
Light waves ALWAYS travel at the "Speed of Light"....based on the medium that the waves are traveling through. It just so happens that they go the FASTEST in a VACUUM.
Which light wave has the fastest speed?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum.
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
Which region of the em spectrum will travel with the fastest speed?
all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed 3e8 m/s in a vacuum
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
Where do mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves travel fastest?
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
Do primary waves travel fastest?
Yes they are the fastest!
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
What waves travel the fastest?
P-waves travel the fastest. This is also knows as a Primary waves, or compressional wave. P-wave stravel twice as fast as an S-wave
What waves travel fastest?
P-waves travel the fastest. This is also knows as a Primary waves, or compressional wave. P-wave stravel twice as fast as an S-wave
Sound waves travel fastest in what?
solids
Are the primary waves faster then the secondary waves?
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
Which waves are fastest?
Primary waves as they travel like a worm, compressing and then expanding
A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases. it is the fastest of all the waves.
Do surface p waves travel fastest?
Yes, unlike s waves
