False. Laser transmissions and radio waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. Both travel at approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. This is the case because wavelength and frequency are directly proportional to this value. Although laser light has a shorter wavelength than radio waves, it will travel at the same speed because the frequency will be greater.
