Question 128

What is the approximate velocity of a radio wave in free space?

  1. 150,000,000 meters per second
  2. 300,000,000 meters per secondCorrect answer
  3. 300,000,000 miles per hour
  4. 150,000,000 miles per hour

Explanation

Electromagnetic waves in free space travel at very close to 300,000,000 metres per second, so radio waves have that same velocity. The answers given in miles per hour use the wrong units entirely.
