It is false, that radio waves travel at the same rate as high energy visible light waves through air? Yes or no?
Expert Solution

Step 1
No it is true that radio waves travel at the same rate as high energy visible light waves through air. Although the wavelength and frequency differs for different waves but the speed remains constant, i.e. c = 299792458 m/s.
