First of all, the question is vague as you haven't mentioned the medium of propagation of the wave, which is extremely crucial.

For example light travels at <span>299,792</span> km/second in vacuum, but in certain semiconductors, it travels as slow as 9 km/second. Sound, ocean and seismic waves don't exist in vacuum at all.

If you mean the maximum possible speed any of these options can attain in any medium of choice for the different options, then the answer would be 
b. radio waves, which travel exactly at the speed of light in vacuum (299,792 km/second) and with an almost similar(slightly less) speed in air. (Radio waves are nothing but electromagnetic waves with low frequency)

What is larger a Atom or a Molecule?
Kipish [7]
I believe an Atom is a very powerful source, the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a source of nuclear energy.


But a molecule on the other hand isn't so different.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
I hope that helps, have a fantastic day!

What is one of the benefits that scientists have discovered from organisms' daily exposure to radioisotopes?
Sholpan [36]

Answer: 1. Being able to carbon date fossils

From the daily exposure to radioisotopes of organisms, scientists discovered to carbon date fossils. In carbon dating, the age of organic matter can be determined from the relative proportions of C-12 and C-14 i.e. isotopes of Carbon (carbon 12 and carbon 14). This ratio changes over the years because carbon-14 decays and is not replenished as there is no exchange with the atmosphere.
