Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
The primary wave (P-wave) travels fastest through dense matter such as solids. This is due to its ability to compress and expand the material it passes through, allowing it to propagate more quickly compared to other types of waves.
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that travels through the Earth's interior. It is a compressional wave, meaning the particles it passes through move in the same direction as the wave itself. P waves are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected during an earthquake.
The speed at which a wave travels depends on the medium through which it is traveling. In general, the speed of a wave is determined by the frequency and wavelength of the wave, according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.
Sound travels in water as a longitudinal wave.
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid

Light the electromagnetic wave.
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
Electromagnetic radiation travels at a speed that's not only faster than any other wave,but is also the "universal speed limit", faster than which nothing can move.
The speed of waves varies greatly, depending on the type of wave. The fastest waves travel at the speed of light, which is ca. 300 million meters/second.

secondary waves
That is a longitudinal wave.
Primary Wave (P wave)
Primary waves (P-waves) are the type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material. These waves are able to cause rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves, resulting in a back-and-forth motion.
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
