The speed of light is the speed all waves travel ?
No, only the speed of all electromagnetic waves.
It's different for ocean waves, rope waves, sound waves,
guitar-string waves, slinky waves, etc.

The speed of light is the speed electromagnetic waves travel ?
Yes.  Light is one of the electromagnetic waves.

The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s in space ?
Yes.  That's a good approximation, and a nice easy number
to remember. 
It's only about 0.07% faster than the real number:  2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s .

The speed of light is the same in all matter ?
No.  It's different in every substance, and the speed in any
substance is less than the speed in space (vacuum).

The speed of higher frequency light slows down
more than
lower frequency light in matter ?
Yes, slightly.  That's why the colors spread out on the way
through a prism to make a spectrum, or on the way through
raindrops to make a rainbow.

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct
