Radio waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum (which includes all light). They therefore travel at the same speed as x rays, microwaves, and visible light, which is 186 thousand miles per second or 3 million meters per second.

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Radio waves travelthough space at what speed?
In a vacuum radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light at the speed of sound or something in between?
speed of light
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.

Which waves travel at the Speed of light?
All electromagnetic waves, including radio.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light at the speed of sound or something in between?
speed of light
What speed do tv rays travel at?
Radio (and TV) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and as such travel at the speed of light.
Radio waves travel at what speed?
Radio waves ravel at the speed of all electromagnetic radiation ... 299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second, in vacuum.
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
How fast does theRadio waves travel?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light 300 Million meters/second, 300e6 meters/second
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
