What travels more quickly visible light or microwaves?

They are both forms of electromagnetic radiation and, in a vacuum, would travel at the same speed.


How does the speed of infrared radiation compare with the speed of x- rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?

If both speeds are measured in the same medium, whether it be vacuum, water, or jello, then they 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.


Microwaves are generated in a vacuum tube called?

A klystron, magnetron or travelling-wave tube will generate microwaves. So will a vircator and an inductive output tube. These are just some of the vacuum tubes used to generate microwaves. In a microwave oven, the magnetron, which is a type of cavity resonator, is the device of choice.


Is vaccuum visible?

A vacuum is not visible, as it is an absence of matter. Matter must exist to be seen, and so a vacuum cannot be seen.


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

Same speed - light and gamma rays are both electromagnetic waves, but with different frequencies.


What moves faster an x ray or a microwave?

All electromagnetic waves move at the same speed, at least in vacuum. X-rays and microwaves ... as well as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, heat, and visible light ... are all electromagnetic waves, and travel at the same speed.


How does the sped of radio wave compare with speed of tv waves when both measured in vacuum?

Both radio waves and tv waves are electromagnetic waves. So both have the same speed in vacuum. Of course radio waves are of lower frequency compared to that of tv waves.
