Physics Question on Electromagnetic Waves

What physical quantity is the same for X-rays of wavelength 1010m10^{−10} m, red light of wavelength 6800A˚6800 Å and radio waves of wavelength 500 m500\ m?

Answer

The speed of light (3×108 m/s)(3 \times 10^8\ m/s) in a vacuum is the same for all wavelengths. It is independent of the wavelength in the vacuum.
