it should be 3x10^8 m s^(-1). here is the calculation:
we have known that the refractive index of vacuum is 1,
by n= v/c ( n stands for refractive index of medium, v stands for the speed of light in medium, c stands for speed of light constant)
1=v/3X10^8 m s^(-1)
v=
therefore, speed of light in vacuum is 3x10^8 m s^(-1)
actually, all light ray in electromagnetic spectrum have same speed in vacuum

How does the speed of microwaves compare to the speed of visible light when measured in a vacuum?
They are equal.
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.
Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?
The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.
How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
What is the speed of light in miles per second in a vacuum?
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum.
