Question
Two waves A and B have wavelength 0.01 Å and 9000 Å respectively.
Name the two waves. compare the speeds of these waves when they travel in vacuum.

Solution
Waves A are Gamma radiations.
Waves B are infrared radiations.
In vacuum, both travel with the same speed. Hence, the ratio of their speeds is 1:1.
