SUMMARY
X-rays travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s). This speed is consistent with other forms of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and gamma rays. The propagation of X-rays as photons confirms their classification within the electromagnetic spectrum.
