Best Answer

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.

Is an X-ray wave a mechanical wave?

No, an X-ray is not a mechanical wave. An X-ray is an electromagnetic wave. However, in polar molecules, an X-ray can cause the molecule to vibrate rapidly, just like a microwave oven can.
