No, the two things are quite difference. Frequency means how often a wave goes "up" and "down" - it is measured in cycles/second (hertz). Speed is measured in meters/second. The relationship is:
speed = frequency x wavelength
This relationship is valid for any wave. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the speed is approximately 300,000,000 m/s.
The speed (in a vacuum) is the same for all electromagnetic radiation.The speed (in a vacuum) is the same for all electromagnetic radiation.The speed (in a vacuum) is the same for all electromagnetic radiation.The speed (in a vacuum) is the same for all electromagnetic radiation.
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and can be characterized by their wavelength and frequency.
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) of any wave phenomenon is alwaysthe same number ... the speed of the wave. So if wavelength changes, thenfrequency must change by exactly the same factor in the opposite direction,in order for their product to remain constant.
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.
Yes, all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is constant for all electromagnetic radiation, regardless of their wavelength or frequency.
They're both electromagnetic radiation, differing only in wavelength (frequency), so their speed is the same.

Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.

For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.
They all travel at the SPEED OF LIGHT.
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.
In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves have the same propagation speed of c = 300,000,000 meters per second (the speed of light). All of these waves, however, may have different frequencies and thus wavelengths. The speed of a wave is related to its frequency and wavelength by the relation (speed) = (frequency) X (wavelength) Since the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is constant, the frequency and wavelength are "inversely proportional" to one another. This means that cutting the frequency of a wave in half makes its wavelength double, and vice versa.
Yes, gamma rays travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This is because gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, like visible light and radio waves, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) of any wave phenomenon is alwaysthe same number ... the speed of the wave. So if wavelength changes, thenfrequency must change by exactly the same factor in the opposite direction,in order for their product to remain constant.
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.
