Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these two waves are traveling through the vacuum of space, they all travel at the speed of light (the fastest speed in which information could be transmitted) within the electromagnetic spectrum.

Perhaps the most successful way we've been able to use light to transfer information is fiber optics. ... Through rapid changes in the light, you can send highly complex signals down the cable. These are most often used either for high speed internet connections, or for sending sound signals to home theater systems.
