Which is true about the speed of radio waves compared to light waves? They are...
less energy & frequency, but still the SAME speed as the speed of light (300,000 km/s)
less energy & frequency, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000 km/s)
smaller wavelength, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000 km/s)
more energy & frequency, so MORE than the speed of light (300,000 km/s)

high energy and short wavelength
high energy and long wavelength
low energy and short wavelength
low energy and long wavelength
