Since Nuclear radiation is simply electromagnetic waves and all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light all nuclear radiation travels at the speed of light. But the frequency will vary.
Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.
As we all have been knowing that Radium is an radioactive element or I can say radioactive metal (to be precise).The Radium releases radioactive particle -alpha particle,beta particle and gamma particle;during a nuclear decay and these particle ionise the substance around it.And this helps it to emit light.
There's no such thing. Or, rather, it depends on the circumstances. It has to be less than the speed of light in a vacuum, but other than that restriction, it can be almost any value (including faster than the speed of light in the medium it's traveling in, in which case it emits Cerenkov radiation).
it is particularly hard question to answer because there are many theories regarding how light in particularly travels, one theory says it's a wave and another says it's a particle. based on these two theories, there are question about the behaviour of light that can be answered but it is not 100% that which theory is correct, because light behaves as a wave and a particle. how does light travel in vacuum is misery, it has some form of magnetic radiation that it creates for itself that it can travel.
From Earth, it takes about 8minutes 20seconds if you travel in a straight line.
The wave-particle duality theory. This explains why sometimes light appears to travel as a wave, and why sometimes it appears to travel as a particle.
Firstly, it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with 'mass' to the speed of light. A massless particle removes that energy problem. Secondly, approaching the speed of light is not actually much of an issue for even a particle with mass. The Large Hadron Collider accelerates particles to just 3m/s below the speed of light, 'almost the speed of light' by any definition. While it takes an immense amount of energy, it can still be done.
As a particle or as a wave.
A non-relativistic particle is any particle not traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. This is not a property of particular type of particle; any particle may in general travel at any speed (below the speed of light). An exception are particles which are massless such as photons and gluons, these MUST travel at the speed of light.
Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.
Because light is a particle that is fired of from a star, that particle travels many ages to go through space to reach your eyes when you see it

There are some particles that travel at the speed of light - mainly, the photon (the particle that makes up light), and the (hypothetical) graviton. No particles are known to travel faster than that, and it doesn't seem likely that this is at all possible.
Light travels at 299,792,458 m/s as both a wave and a particle. Light demonstrates aspects of both. It does not require any sort of medium to travel.
The lightest subatomic particle is the electron.
Two types of radiation are electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays and microwaves, which travel in waves at the speed of light; and particle radiation, such as alpha and beta particles, which consist of high-speed particles emitted from a radioactive source.
Light is composed of particles called photons that can travel through empty space because they do not require a medium to propagate. This is due to the wave-particle duality of light, where it behaves both as a wave and a particle, allowing it to travel through vacuum without the need for a medium like air or water.
