Answer:

Speed of both will be decreases when they travel through the medium of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both sunlight and radio wave has the same speed in vacuum but both speed will be decreases when they travel through the medium of water because the consistency of water is more than air which make hard to travel for sunlight and radio wave. The speed of sunlight is slightly decreases but the radio wave can't go too far in the water and finally stops so we can say that sunlight can travel through water but radio wave none.
