In a vacuum, they both travel the exact same speed, the speed of light. IIRC that's about 3x108 meters per second.

Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?

Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.


Which type of wave travels faster gamma or radio?

The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.


Why is infrared light faster than ultraviolet light?

That would be a very difficult "why" to explain, because it doesn't. All light travels at the same speed in the same medium. In vacuum, it's the speed we call "The Speed of Light". Shockingly, it's the same as the speed of radio, TV, radiant heat, X-rays, gamma rays, WiFi, and microwaves.


What kind of EM wave travels fastest in a vacuum?

All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light, approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. This includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?

The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.


Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?

Gamma rays have higher energy than infrared light. Gamma rays have the highest energy among all types of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, while infrared light has lower energy and longer wavelengths than gamma rays.


What is Energy that travels in waves in all directions?

Electromagnetic radiation is energy that travels in waves in all directions. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What has the highest frequency gamma rays or infrared waves?

Gamma rays have a higher frequency than infrared waves. Gamma rays are on the electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


What other form of energy travels at the speed of light?

All electromagnetic radiation does. That includes radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, etc. ... stuff like that.


What gives off more energy infrared waves or gamma rays?

Gamma rays give off more energy than infrared waves. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation. In contrast, infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy levels.

no infrared


Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?

All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
