    All types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed of approximately 3x10^8 m/s. However, they differ in terms of their energy, wavelength, and frequency. Gamma rays have the highest energy of 6x10^6 kJ, while radio waves have the lowest energy of 0.012 kJ. Gamma rays also have the shortest wavelength of 0.02 nm, and radio waves have the longest wavelength of 1x10^6 nm. Finally, gamma rays have the highest frequency of 3x10^19 Hz and radio waves have the lowest frequency of 3x10^10 Hz.
