The question is not quite clear. The speed of electromagnetic waves has been

measured, in a great number of experiments of increasing precision and accuracy

over the past 150 years, and is now known correctly to within 5 parts per billion.

In a vacuum all electromagnetic waves have?

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves have equal velocity.


Why is velocity of electromagnetic waves not measured?

Electromagnetic Waves all have constant velocity which are equal to the speed of light. It is only the frequency of the wave that differentiates ie between radio, gamma, X-ray. The velocity is always fixed at 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 which is equivalent to the speed of light.


Is the velocity of light more than velocity of radio waves?

No as they are both electromagnetic waves so have the same velocity but have differing wavelengths and frequencies.


Which property of electromagnetic waves is measured in Hertz?

Frequency


How are the distances to stars measured?

by the property of reflection or electromagnetic waves


What waves have the highest velocities in earthquakes?

P waves (PRIMARY Waves) have the highest average velocity as they travel through the earth's materials.


What unit is waves velocity measured in?

Meters per second


How are electromagnetic waves used to operate an xray machine?

Electrons impact at high velocity on a tungsten anode. The tungsten emits the X-Rays, which are the electromagnetic waves.


It is said that time flies but can its velocity be infinite?

Electromagnetic waves are limited to velocity "c". But time has no speed limit.


Electromagnetic waves travel at the same what?

Electromagnetic waves in a vacuum all travel at the same velocity, the speed of light (about 3 x 10^8 m/s).


Do electromagnetic waves have the same velocity?

One would need more information to answer that question.


In any one material all electromagnectic waves have the same?

In any one material all electromagnetic waves have the same velocity. Electromagnetic waves traveling through a medium travel at the same speed.
