No, radio signals travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). This is the ultimate speed limit in the universe according to the theory of relativity.

What travel faster a radio signal or sound in air explain?

Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.


How fast are radio signals compared to other forms of electromagnetic waves?

Radio signals travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible for electromagnetic waves. This means that radio signals travel at the same speed as other forms of electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and X-rays.


Does one type of light travel faster then another in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, all types of light, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This is a fundamental property of light in a vacuum known as the speed of light constant.


Which travels faster a radio signal or a sound?

Radio signal being an electromagnetic wave does not need even a material medium. It has velocity so incredible which equals to that of light as 300,000 km per second. But sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium and its speed is just 350 m/s in air and some how higher in solids


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.

What does propogate faster a sound signal or a radio signal?

Radio signals propagate faster than sound signals. Speed of light (radio) is about 186,000 mps Speed of sound is about 1100 fps (0.5 mps).

What sort of signal in GPS travel at the speed of light?

The GPS system is a network of devices that communicate by radio. Radio signals are electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and they travel at the same speed as light does.


Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?

Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.


Do astronaut travel at the speed of lite?

yes they travel faster No.. No they don't. Not even close. I've heard two theories regarding things that are faster than light. Which are the expansion of the universe and a Polarization Synchrotron device that makes radio waves travel faster than the speed of light. http://www.universetoday.com/2009/06/30/device-makes-radio-waves-travel-faster-than-light/


Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?

Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves


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.


Who travel faster a radio signal or light in space?

They are the same physical phenomenon, with the same identical speed.


Can radio signal travel through salt water?

Radio signals can travel through salt water.


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 would be the first to reach Earth if a light signal and a radio signal were emitted from a star?

It would be a tie; both light and radio are electromagnetic waves, as are X-rays, gamma rays, ultra-violet and infrared. They all travel at the same speed, the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second, or 186,000 miles per second.
