Perhaps you have heard of the "speed of light" ?
Light is an electromagnetic wave, and its speed is the speed of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
That speed is 186,282 miles (299,792 km) per second in vacuum, slightly less in any material medium.
it depends on how the motion got started and what forces are acting. but for electromagnetic radiation, it only has one speed - the speed of light - no matter what frequency or wavelength or intensity of the radiation.

How fast do electromagnetic waves travel (miles per second) through space?
Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second.
Does light travel as electric waves convex waves luminescent waves or electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves
Speed of electromagnetic waves?
They travel at the same speed of light that is 299,792,458 msec-1
How much faster are electromagnetic wave than sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
How Do Electromagnetic Waves Work?
Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space.
How mechanical and electromagnetic wave are different?
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
Approximately how fast do electric common manic waves travel through space?
Electric and magnetic waves, or electromagnetic waves, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.
Waves made by vibrating charges that can travEl without a medium are called?
Electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves that can travel though the vacuum of space is called what?
That would be electromagnetic waves.
Which of the following is true of electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
Which type of wave can travel through empty space by electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
