Both radio waves and light are electromagnetic (EM) waves.
Explanation:
All EM waves should travel at the same speed in the same medium. The difference is in their wavelengths or frequencies.
The speed of these EM waves only changes when the medium changes. In vacuum, EM waves travel at their maximum speed of approximately
