Infrared waves and radio waves both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This means that they move at the same speed.

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.


Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?

Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.


What moves faster an x ray or a microwave?

All electromagnetic waves move at the same speed, at least in vacuum. X-rays and microwaves ... as well as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, heat, and visible light ... are all electromagnetic waves, and travel at the same speed.


What waves move the fastest?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, move the fastest in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second.


How does radiant energy move?

Radiant energy moves in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light, infrared radiation, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves travel through space and can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted by different materials or mediums.


What are he things that are true about electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that can travel through a vacuum. They move at the speed of light. They have both electric and magnetic components that oscillate perpendicular to each other. They include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Does Light waves move at a higher frequency than infrared waves?

yes it does!


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.


What is a em wave?

An electromagnetic (EM) wave is a form of energy that is created by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light. EM waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What is on electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space. These waves vary in frequency and wavelength, giving rise to the different types of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays. The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which is the speed of light.


For the EM spectrum what happens to frequency from radio to gamma rays?

The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases as you move from radio waves to microwaves, then infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and finally gamma rays. In other words, gamma rays have the highest frequency among all the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is electromoagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves refer to a whole family of waves that are emitted by moving charges. These include gamma rays, xrays, ultraviolet light, regular light, infrared light, microwaves and radio waves. They all have the same basic characteristics but have dififferent frequency and wavelength ranges. They are made up of electric and magnetic fields. These fields can exert forces on charges they hit and cause them to move. So radio waves emitted by a radio station transmitter travel thru space and hit the antenna in your radio. This causes the charges in the antenna to move which is then converted back into sound. Light waves that hit your arm cause the charges to move and you feel warm etc.
