Question

Consider gamma rays, X-rays and UV rays travelling in a vacuum. All of these are traveling with __________.

A.

same frequency but different speeds

B.

same wavelength but different speeds

C.

same speed but different wavelengths

D.

same speed and same frequency

Correct option is C

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves, including gamma rays, X-rays, and UV rays, travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light. However, they have different wavelengths and frequencies. The frequency of the waves varies with the type of radiation, and the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Therefore, the correct option is that they travel at the same speed but have different wavelengths.
