Question:

IF vs, vx and vm are the speeds of gamma rays, X-rays and microwaves respectively in vacuum, then:

vs>vx>vm

vsvm

vs=vx=vm

vs<vx<vm

Solution:

The correct option is D: vs=vx=vm

These all above mentioned rays are electromagnetic waves and all electromagnetic waves have the same speed in the same medium. The speed of these waves in vacuum are equal to each other and to the speed of light in vacuum.

vs=vx=vm=c0
