What else can I help you with?
What characteristic is consistent for all forms of electromagnetic (e-m) radiation in a vacuum?
The characteristic that is consistent for all forms of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is that they all travel at the speed of light.
What characteristics do all forms of light share?
All forms of light travel in a straight line and also they all carry a different amount of electromagnetic energy. All forms of light can travel through just about any medium; space, gas, liquid, and best through transparent and translucent solids.
Do higher energy photons travel slower?
No, the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all photons regardless of their energy. Higher energy photons have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, but they still travel at the speed of light.
Do the different forms of electromagnetic energy vary in their 1 wavelengths 2 speed 3 particle size 4 ability to pass through space?
You say different forms of EM energy-there is only one form in fact. There is a huge variation in wavelengths (or frequency, the inverse of wavelength), no difference in speed, particle size not relevant, there are no particles, and all EM will pass through space. (The speed is a maximum in a vacuum such as Space, 300,000 km/sec)
What do all types of electromagnetic wave transfer from one place to another?
All types of electromagnetic waves transfer energy from one place to another by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves do not require a medium to travel through and can propagate through a vacuum.
Is it true or false that all forms of energy can travel in a vacuum?
false
What characteristic is consistent for all forms of electromagnetic (e-m) radiation in a vacuum?
The characteristic that is consistent for all forms of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is that they all travel at the speed of light.
Can X-rays travel faster then yellow light in a vacuum?
No. All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light.
How fast does light or radiant energy travel?
All forms of electromagnetic energy have the same speed in vacuum . . .299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.The speed is somewhat less in material media, and depends on the medium.
What characteristics do all forms of light share?

What form of energy can travel in all directoins?
This isn't very specific. Do you mean all dimensions? If that is what you meant then gravity. As far as I know all forms of energy can travel in any direction. Did you mean what forms do move in all directions in a specific situation? Details would be nice.
Do higher energy photons travel slower?
No, the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all photons regardless of their energy. Higher energy photons have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, but they still travel at the speed of light.

All types of electromagnetic waves transfer energy from one place to another by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves do not require a medium to travel through and can propagate through a vacuum.
Wwhat speed do gamma rays travel at?
Like all forms of light (ie, electro-magnetic radiation), gamma rays in a vacuum travel at exactly 299,792,458 meters per second.
Space is a vacuum and continuous bombard of bodies in space happens all the time producing light and sound. Light travels through a vacuum but what about sound?
Sound is mechanical energy. It is created in a number of ways, but they are all mechanical in nature. Something (a mass or some material) must move. The mechanical energy of sound is carried by the medium through which it is traveling. The mechanical energy is actually transferred into the medium through which it is going to travel. As such, sound cannot travel through the "nothing" that is space. Light is electromagnetic energy. It's like radio waves, but higher in frequency. It is a moving electric and magnetic field, both, and at the same time and at right angles from one another. It is affected by the medium through which it is traveling, but not by a vacuum. It is unaffected by a vacuum. Light and other forms of electromagnetic energy blow through the vacuum of space like there was nothing there.
What is true for all examples of electromagnetic waves?
All examples of electromagnetic waves are forms of energy that propagate through space at the speed of light. They consist of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicularly to each other, and can travel through a vacuum. Additionally, they are all composed of photons, which are massless particles.
