In vacuum, every imaginable wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, from longer than
radio waves to shorter than gamma rays, travels at 299,792,458 meters per second.

All electromagnetic waves travel at speeds of?
All waves in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at 3x108 ms-1 or 300000000 metres every second.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?
No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Light spectrum is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel better and faster (light speed in vacuum) in vacuum.
How fast do electromagnetic travel?
Every wave in the electromagnetic spectrum travels at 2.99792x108 metres per second.
All electromagnetic waves travel at speeds of?
All waves in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at 3x108 ms-1 or 300000000 metres every second.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?
No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
Why is sound not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Could it be that the frequency of sound waves are to low?
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through air?
Yes. Electromagnetic spectrum waves reach your eye through the air.
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
What type of light waves can travel through a vacuum?
Light spectrum is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel better and faster (light speed in vacuum) in vacuum.
How fast do electromagnetic travel?
Every wave in the electromagnetic spectrum travels at 2.99792x108 metres per second.
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
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.
What are the different speeds of the electromagnetic spectrum?
In terms of speed, every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, (radio waves, infra-red, ultraviolet), all travel at the same speed in a vacuum, the speed of light, which is 300,000,000 m/s approx. In terms of energy, the low frequency and long wavelength end of the spectrum, such as radio, have a low energy as opposed to the high frequency and short wavelength end, such as gamma rays.
How does communication travel from earth to the moon?
Through the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically radio waves.
