Solution

The correct option is A same velocity but different wavelength
Answer: A
speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum is given by:-
c(speed of light)=frequency× wavelength =1μ0ϵ0=constant
as we go from gamma rays to radio waves frequency decreases and wavelength increases thereby maintaining the product constant.
so velocity is same but wavelength is different.
