  • Electromagnetic Spectrum Speed: Do All Waves Travel at the Same Speed?
    Yes, all waves in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the same speed through a vacuum. This speed is known as the speed of light and is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.

    However, when electromagnetic waves travel through a medium like air, water, or glass, they slow down. The amount of slowing down depends on the properties of the medium and the frequency of the wave.
