Step-by-step explanation:

Any kind of electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light.

Electromagnetic radiation is a wave that is made of electric and magnetic fields carrying radiant energy. The waves are of transverse nature. The types of electromagnetic radiation are classified according to their wavelength, frequency and energy.

Gamma rays have wavelength of around 1 picometer frequency of around 1.24×10²⁰ Hz and energy of around 1.24 MeV.
