What types of waves are light waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. They travel through space at the speed of light and can move through a vacuum. Light waves have a wide range of frequencies, which determines their color and energy.
Is speed related to the color of a light wave?
No. All colors of light travel at the same speed in vacuum. Different colors represent light waves with different wavelengths (frequencies).
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
Where do the light waves coming from the pencil change speed?
The light waves coming from the pencil change speed when they move from air (faster speed) to the glass or water (slower speed). This change in speed causes the light waves to refract or bend.
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and can be characterized by their wavelength and frequency.

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.

The light waves coming from the pencil change speed when they move from air (faster speed) to the glass or water (slower speed). This change in speed causes the light waves to refract or bend.

All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and can be characterized by their wavelength and frequency.
What waves have the highest speed?
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, have the highest speed in a vacuum, moving at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.
What color of light has the slowest speed in a vacuum?
Every color of light has the same identical speed in vacuum. Radio, X-rays,microwaves, heat waves, and gamma rays also all have the same speed.All colours travel at the same speed.
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called?
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
Why does light have a speed?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and, like all waves, it has a speed.
