How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are maeasured in a vacuum?

If both of them are in the same substance, then their speeds are equal.


How the speed of visible light compare with gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?

Visible light and gamma rays are different parts of the full spectrum of light. Since they are really both just light, they travel at the same speed, the speed of light. 186,000 miles per second.


How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?

The speed of light in glass is the reciprocal of the refractive index of the glass or 1/(refractive index). Not all glass is the same: its refractive index can range from less than 1.5 for Pyrex (a borosilicate glass) to more than 1.9 for (impure) flint glass. This means the speed of light in glass can range between 0.52 and 0.68 of its speed in vacuum.


Why do you measure radioactive uranium?

The mass is measured with a balance.The radioactivity is measured with a gamma-radiometer.


Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?

No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.


Can gamma rays travel in a vacuum?

yes they can they travel up to bum


In a vacuum do different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the same or different speeds?

In vacuum, every imaginable wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, from longer than radio waves to shorter than gamma rays, travels at 299,792,458 meters per second.


How do infrared waves compare with gamma rays?

Compare and contrast x rays and gamma rays?

-- Compare: They're both electromagnetic radiation. -- Contrast: X-rays have longer wavelength, lower frequency, and carry less energy, than gamma rays.

In a vacuum gamma rays travel at the same speed as radio waves?

Yes, that's correct.
