Accepted Answer

You're fishing for "vacuum", but the question shows some uncertainty with the concepts. All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through vacuum. That's a fact.It's also true that they all travel at the same speed through jello, but it's slower than their speed in vacuum. The key point is that all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, as long as you're measuring them all in the same material medium.The speed is highest in vacuum, and some other different, lower speed in different materials.

Suggested Answer

Answer: in empty space Explanation:electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in empty space. In laboratories and the atmosphere, the different frequencies of waves do not always travel at the same speed.
