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.

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.
What happens to an electromagnetic wave's frequency as it's wavelength decreases?
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.
Does the speed of the wave increase as you move from left to right on the electromagnetic spectrum?
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.
Do all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum?
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.
What do we mean by the frequency of electromagnetic radiation Is the frequency the same as the speed of the electromagnetic radiation?
The frequency of electromagnetic radiation refers to the number of oscillations or cycles of the electromagnetic wave that occur in one second, measured in hertz (Hz). It is not the same as the speed of electromagnetic radiation; while frequency indicates how often the waves occur, the speed refers to how fast the waves travel through space. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, regardless of its frequency. The relationship between frequency (f), wavelength (λ), and speed (c) is defined by the equation: ( c = f \times λ ).
Which wave has greater speed radio waves or gamma waves?
They're both electromagnetic radiation, differing only in wavelength (frequency), so their speed is the same.

How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
A wave with what frequencies would have shortest wavelength 10MHz 100MHz 1GHz 100GHz?
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.
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?

What is the same for all types electromagnetic radiation?
They all travel at the SPEED OF LIGHT.
All electromagnetic waves have 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.
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.
Do gamma rays travel the speed of light?
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.
What happens to an electromagnetic wave's frequency as it's wavelength decreases?
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.
How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in 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.
