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.
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.
Primary: aka P-waves
An earthquake P wave, or primary wave, travels through solids, liquids, and gases. It is the fastest type of seismic wave and causes particles in the material it passes through to move in the same direction as the wave, compressing and expanding the medium. This ability to travel through different states of matter distinguishes P waves from S waves, which can only move through solids.
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
solids
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
Light the electromagnetic wave.
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 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.
