All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed (in a vacuum). Electromagnetic radiation travels very quickly. There is nothing which can travel faster. The speed is 300,000,000 m/s in a vacuum (that is 300 million metres per second-not easy to imagine!). Electromagnetic radiation can be thought of as particles or waves (the word radiation is also used for radioactivity).
The hotter an object gets, the more photons it gives out. Light travels as a wave. But unlike sound waves or water waves, it does not need any matter or material to carry its energy along. This means that light can travel through a vacuumâa completely airless space. (Sound, on the other hand, must travel through a solid, a liquid, or a gas.) Nothing travels faster than light energy. It speeds through the vacuum of space at 186,400 miles (300,000 km) per second.
