Question
What is the value of speed of γ-rays in vacuum ?
Solution
The speed of γ-rays, like all electromagnetic waves including light, in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second). This is often rounded to 300,000 kilometers per second for simplicity in calculations.
