No. As the radiation frequency moves from left to right in the frequency spectrum, the wave speed is the same in a certain medium -- in vacuum, it is 3E8 m/s. The energy increases with frequency, though.

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave decreases what will the wavelength do?

It will become longer, and it will carry less energy, its also likely, that if the change or loss in frequency is enough, the radiation will become a different type of electromagnetic radiation in the spectrum like gamma to x-rays or visible light to infrared and so on.


What speed do tv rays travel at?

Radio (and TV) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and as such travel at the speed of light.


Do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the same speed through space?

Yes. It's usually called the "speed of light", but it's actually the speed of all electromagnetic phenomena.


What velocity do all parts of the em spectrum travel at?

All parts of the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is a fundamental constant of nature and does not change regardless of the type or frequency of electromagnetic radiation.


Which region of the em spectrum will travel with the fastest speed?

All regions of the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. So, they all travel at the same speed, regardless of their wavelength or frequency.


Do different types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum share the same properties?

Yes, different types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum share common properties such as speed, wavelength, and frequency, but they differ in energy and how they interact with matter.


What do all types of electromagnetic spectrum have in common?

They are all transverse waves and travel at the same speed in a vacuum.


What characteristic determines the different kinds of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The distinguishing features between one type of electromagnetic radiation and the other are the frequency and the wavelength (the product of both is the speed of the wave - the speed of light).


Is electromagnetic spectrum and frequency spectrum same?

Electromagnetic waves have an associated frequency and wavelength. They are related by c = λν, where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and ν is the frequency. All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. A change in frequency results in a change in wavelength (as required by the given equation). In short, yes. They're the same.


Are cosmic rays part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Cosmic rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are high-energy particles, such as protons and atomic nuclei, that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. Unlike electromagnetic waves, which are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, cosmic rays are actual particles with mass.


What is radaiton?

Radiation is energy that travels in the form of waves or high speed particles and it makes up the electromagnetic spectrum.
