	Come on now. Can you not find any information independently. We seem to have become your private, free tutors. Why not have pity on us and find the answers to THE ELEMENTARY questions you have brought here. Try Wikipedia, that's where most school children go to find answers to ELEMENTARY questions.

	In DC I would say fast. In AC I would say jolly fast, and like watching tennis on grass!

	Speed of Light=em waves=electric current=3x10^8m/sec. In relativity it is said that even though you speed to same velocity of light you will still see light passing you with same velocity. In electromagnetic waves(Radio waves/sine waves) we have a formula c/f=antenna/4.So if you want to tune to 94.4Mhz you need an antenna length of ((4x300000000)/94400000)=0.7944m or 79cm.
