X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation just like visible light. They travel at the same speed (299,792 km/s in a vacuum) as visible light. The only difference is that x-rays have a much higher frequency (~10^18 Hz) and hence a much shorter wavelength (~1 nm) than visible light.

What wave has xrays?
Electromagnetic waves have x-rays as a subset of their range.
What is the wave length of a typical 7-Wave whose frequency is 7 Hz The speed of sound in sea water is 1530 meter per second?
frequency = speed/wavelength. Thus,wavelength = 1530/7 = 218.57 m.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
They travel much, much faster than that.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
Is the velocity of X-rays constant?
Yes, all xrays travel at the speed of light.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
