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.

X-rays move faster than microwaves as they are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels at the speed of light, while microwaves move at a slower speed.
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.
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.
X-rays and microwaves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. They both have wavelengths that fall within the electromagnetic spectrum. They are also used in various applications such as medical imaging for X-rays and cooking in the case of microwaves.
X-ray LED technology in medical imaging offers benefits such as improved image quality, reduced radiation exposure, faster imaging times, and enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
Electromagnetic waves are used in a variety of ways, including in communication (radio waves, microwaves), medical imaging (X-rays, MRI), cooking (microwaves), and security (X-ray scanners). They are also used in remote sensing (satellite imagery), weather forecasting (radar), and manufacturing (welding, cutting).
