As a domain expert in physics, I can tell you that the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it travels and the type of wave it is. Among the different types of waves, electromagnetic waves travel at the fastest speed possible in a vacuum, which is the speed of light, approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.

These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves. The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth.
