SUMMARY
Electromagnetic radiation emitted by cold hydrogen gas travels at the speed of light, which is a constant value of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This principle applies universally, as all forms of electromagnetic radiation—including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays—travel at the same speed. The source of the electromagnetic radiation does not affect its speed.
