What else can I help you with?
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Why do mountains interfere with FM radio reception?
FM radio works like light. If a shadow is made (something in the way) , you get less light. Radio waves work in a straight line. If something is in the way, less radio waves. The rule is broken here if you use Am radio waves. Low clouds can make the waves bounce between the clouds and the ground and can travel as far as 1000 miles or further. So the answer is yes.
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
What speed do radio waves travel in air?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet, XRays, and gamma rays are all part of the "electromagnetic spectrum". They are all electromagnetic radiation and they all travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). The only difference between them is their frequencies (or wavelengths)
Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?
The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.

What sort of signal in GPS travel at the speed of light?
The GPS system is a network of devices that communicate by radio. Radio signals are electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Which gases does sound travel through?
Sound can travel as long as there is something for it to travel through. This could be a gas (such as air), a liquid (such as water) or a solid (such as a metal). In outer space there is no air for the sound to travel though, so astronauts can not talk with each other unless they use a radio. Radio waves and light waves can travel through space, that is why we are able to receive light from the sun. Source: www.examville.com
What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?
radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.
What is speed of radio transmission?
186,000 miles per second
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
How long does it take radio waves to travel from earth to Jupiter?
The distance between Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between roughly 391 and 577 million miles, depending on where each of them is in its orbit. The corresponding transit times for radio (or light, heat, etc.) are: 390.8 million miles . . . 35 minutes 576.8 million miles . . . 51.6 minutes
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
Which waves travel at the Speed of light?
All electromagnetic waves, including radio.
What can travel though space without a medium?
Light, radiation, radio waves.
What speed do tv rays travel at?
Radio (and TV) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and as such travel at the speed of light.
