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.
How does the sped of radio wave compare with speed of tv waves when both measured in vacuum?
Both radio waves and tv waves are electromagnetic waves. So both have the same speed in vacuum. Of course radio waves are of lower frequency compared to that of tv waves.
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
What space objects use radio waves?
sattelites
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
Where in space are the radio waves that were cast 100 years ago?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, so radio waves broadcast 100 years ago that were strong enough to reach into space are 100 light-years away.
Where are radio waves faster-earth or space?
Radio waves travel with the highest speed in vacuum, and slightly slower in air. So they move slightly faster in space than on earth.
Are The speeds of X rays and radio waves in outer space are different?
No. In vacuum, all electromagnertic waves have the same speed.
What is the link between radio waves and visible light?
Both are electromagnetic waves travelling at a speed about 300,000 km in one second in free space or in air medium. But radio waves have longer wavelength compared to that of light waves.
Is the speed of radio waves greater then visible waves?
no.

Do particles in the atmosphere slow down either the speed of light or radio waves as they travel outward into the universe?
Light and radio waves travel slower through air than they do through space or vacuum. But as soon as they leave the atmosphere and get into space or vacuum, they speed up to 299,792,458 meters per second.
Which electromagnetic waves are used for communication in space?
radio waves
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.
