Answer:

Different types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum share the same speed, which is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (or about 186,282 miles per second). All types of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays, travel at the same speed in a vacuum. This is one of the fundamental properties of the electromagnetic spectrum.
