All electromagnetic waves, light, x-rays, etc travel at the same speed.
Sound waves require a medium to travel thru, so they cannot travel thru a vacuum.

Which property is the same for all forms 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.The speed (in a vacuum) is the same for all electromagnetic radiation.
Compare and contrast light and sound waves?
Comparison:Both light waves and sound waves are a method of energy transfer.Both types of waves change their speed when traveling through various media.Contrast:Light waves are electromagnetic waves, and do not require a medium (matter) in order to travel. Sound waves MUST have a medium in order to travelThe speed of a light wave is faster than the speed of a sound wave.Light waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
What is the ratio of speed of infrared rays and ultraviolet rays in vacuum?
The speed of UV light in a vacuum is the same as visible light, infrared light, radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, etc.: 299,792,458 m/s. All light in a vacuum has the same speed and it is constant, that's one of the basis of Einstein's relativity and is why the famous equation E=mc^2 works, c being the speed of light in a vacuum.Also, it can be proven that not just light, but anyparticle with no mass has to travel at the speed of light.
What is the instantaneous speed of an object 2 second after being dropped in a vacuum?
19.614 meters/second is.
Calculate the speed of waves in water that are 0.4 m apart and have a frequency of 2 Hz.?

How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
At what speed will data travel over unshielded twisted pair cabling?
At about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum.At about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum.At about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum.At about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum.
What is the wavelength of a 30 GHz radio wave in a vacuum?
EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. c=f*lambda where c is the speed of light, f is the frequency of the way and lambda is the wavelength. Lambda= c/f = (3x108 m/s)/3x1010 s-1) = 1x10-2 m or 1 cm
Why white light colours have different speeds according to their frequencies but not the other electromagnetic waves while all have the same speed of light?
Answer: The white colors have different speeds and not other electromagnetic waves because they are not usually consisted by more than one colors like the white colors. Answer: You are really confusing two different things. (1) In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. That includes light of different colors. They all travel at the so-called "speed of light" - without further qualification, this term means "the speed of all electromagnetic waves in a vacuum", and this speed is approximately 300,000 km/sec. (2) In materials other than a vacuum (empty space), electromagnetic waves get slowed down - and the amount by which they slow down depends on the frequency. Thus, not only light of different colors will be slowed down by different amounts, but also radio waves, ultraviolet rays, etc., if they are able to pass through a material at all. For more information, do some reading - for example, on the Wikipedia - on "index of refraction", and on "speed of light".

What are 2 waves of energy?
As far as I know, all waves carry energy.
How does the average speed of light in glass compass with its speed in a vacuum?
There are several different types of glass, and light has a somewhat different speed in each of them. On the average, the speed of light across all typical types of glass is in the neighborhood of 2/3 its speed in vacuum, or around 200,000 km/sec .

19.614 meters/second is.
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters These waves pass by a stationary boat every 2 seconds The speed of the waves is?
The speed of a wave = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (10) x (1/2) = 5 meters per second.

4Meter per second.
