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.

Who travels faster in a vacuums x-rays or microwave?

As long as the x-ray and the microwave are in the same medium, they're both traveling at the same speed. So are radio waves, TV waves, heat waves, and every color of visible light.


What is the speed of a x-ray?

The speed of X-ray in vacuum is the same as the speed of radio, microwave, light, heat, infrared, and ultraviolet: 299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.


Which of the following requires the MOST energy to generate A microwave blue light xray ultra violet light?

X-rays require the most energy to generate out of the options listed (microwave, blue light, x-ray, ultraviolet light). X-rays have higher energy photons compared to microwave, blue light, and ultraviolet light.


Does x ray travel faster than visible light in medium?

No.


What has a higher wavelength xray or a microwave?

A microwave has a higher wavelength than an X-ray. Microwaves typically have wavelengths in the range of centimeters to millimeters, while X-rays have wavelengths in the range of picometers to nanometers.
