Is it correct to say that in every case any radio wave travels faster than any sound wave?

Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.

What travels faster the sound from a person or a radio waves sent to a radio?
Sound travels at the speed of sound, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light. The speed of radio waves is much faster than the speed of sound. If you're seated high in the stands at a baseball game, watching it on the field and listening to the game on the radio at the same time, it's quite common to hear the crack of the bat on the radio before you hear it straight from Home Plate.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
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.
Can a radio signal be heard years after being sent?
Yes, if you're far enough away from its source. (Radio travels at the speed of light.)
Do batterieswear out faster if the volume of the radio is turned up?
Yes.
How does the speed of light compare to the speed of radio waves?
light travels faster than radio wavws
What travels faster the sound from a person or a radio waves sent to a radio?
Sound travels at the speed of sound, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light. The speed of radio waves is much faster than the speed of sound.

Which travel faster a radio wave or sound wave?
A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.
Who travels faster in a vacuums x-rays or microwave?
As long as the x-ray and the microwave are in the same medium, they're both traveling at the same speed. So are radio waves, TV waves, heat waves, and every color of visible light.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
How do you get the radio in Pokemon SoulSilver?
Go to the radio tower, and talk to one of the woman at the front desk. If you talk to the correct one, she'll give you a quiz. You can do this quiz as many times as you like, until you get every answer correct. Once you get all of them correct, you'll get a radio card on your pokeqear.
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.
Which one travels faster radar or light?
Radio waves and light are forms of electromagnetic radiation and travel at the same speed: in vacuum approx 300,000,000 metres per second.
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.
Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?
Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.
Is TV or cable faster?
radio!
Why sound travels faster then light in television?
It doesn't. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/second; sound travels roughly a million times slower. By the way, the light you see and the sound you hear in television doesn't travel as light or sound for most of the way - the information is encoded in a radio wave (which also travels at the speed of light). Only in the television set is the information transformed back into normal light, and sound.
