Electromagnetic radiation travels at a speed that's not only faster than any other wave,
but is also the "universal speed limit", faster than which nothing can move.
secondary waves
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
Primary: aka P-waves
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
solids
Light the electromagnetic wave.
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
The speed of waves varies greatly, depending on the type of wave. The fastest waves travel at the speed of light, which is ca. 300 million meters/second.

secondary waves
That is a longitudinal wave.
Primary Wave (P wave)
Primary waves (P-waves) are the type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material. These waves are able to cause rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves, resulting in a back-and-forth motion.
