Best Answer

neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves

What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?

Ultraviolet waves travel faster than infrared waves in space because they have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. The speed of electromagnetic waves, including ultraviolet and infrared, in space is determined by the speed of light, which is a constant value in a vacuum.


What is Energy that travels in waves in all directions?

Electromagnetic radiation is energy that travels in waves in all directions. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?

-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.


How are radio and ultraviolet waves similar?

they are both electromagnetic waves


Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.


What travels faster the sound from a person or a radio waves sent to a radio?

Sound travels at the speed of sound, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light. The speed of radio waves is much faster than the speed of sound. If you're seated high in the stands at a baseball game, watching it on the field and listening to the game on the radio at the same time, it's quite common to hear the crack of the bat on the radio before you hear it straight from Home Plate.


Who has a shorter wavelength radio or ultraviolet?

Ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than radio waves. Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths ranging from about 10 nm to 400 nm, while radio waves have much longer wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to over 100 kilometers.
