I'm pretty sure that they travel in parabolas, although honestly I'm tyring to find the same out for myself. The waves themselves are sin/cosine (I always forget) curves.

ADDED.

No, like light, they travel in straight lines, though can be imagined as an infinite number of thin rays fanning out from their source. They are described for analysis as sine curves so their 0-level points start at 0 s. in time, but the cosine curve is the same shape as its companion sine curve, simply displaced by 90º forwards. (Sin 0º = 1, Sin 90º = 1; but Cos 0º = 1, Cos 90º = 0)

What kind of light is the slowest?

Radiowaves is the slowest light in movement. Radiowaves might not seem like light, but that would only be because our eyes can only detect the colors of the visible spectrum, not other kinds of light like radiowaves, infrared light, and X-Rays.Sorry.That's a good list of various forms of electromagnetic radiation ... visible, radio, x-rays, etc.They all travel at the same speed.

Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?

No, sunlight and radiowaves are not compression waves. Sunlight consists of electromagnetic waves, while radiowaves are a type of electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency range. Compression waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves.
