both the radio waves and infrared waves travels at the same speed but different in their frequency and wavelength

Radio waves:

In radio waves wavelength is large(1 to 100km) and frequency is small

Radio waves are less energetic than infrared waves

Infrared waves:

In infrared waves wavelength is small (0.7-30 micrometer) and frequency is large

Infrared waves are more energetic than radio waves

Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?

The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).


What are the differences between visual light and radio waves?

THEY ARE THE sAME


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 the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?

Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.


Is a rainbow made up of radio waves?

no, they are made up of light waves, similar to radio waves and both are in the same spectrum (the electromagnetic spectrum) but they have different wavelenghts.


Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?

-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.


Why can two radio stations send signals out into the same space at the same time?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation similar to visible light. If there were 2 light sources with different color light you would not have any problem seeing both colors. It is the same with radio waves on different wavelengths.


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.


What is the travel speed of television waves?

The speed of television waves is exactly the same as the speed of FM radio, heat, infrared light, green light, purple light, ultraviolet light, microwaves, x-rays, AM radio, bluetooth signals, taxi radio, garage-door-opener waves, and gamma ray waves ... because all of these waves are the same thing. The speed is 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second. ADDED: It may help to realise the television is simply a special form of the radio.


Does infrared move at the same speed as radio waves?

Infrared waves and radio waves both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This means that they move at the same speed.


What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?

radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.


Do radio waves travel through vacuum fasetr than visible light waves?

No, radio waves and visible light waves both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. The speed of light is constant, regardless of the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation.
