Which is a comparison of the speed of light in a material compared to the speed of light in empty space?
The speed of light in any material medium is less than it is in empty space.
Is speed of light in vacuum and medium same?
No, light in a medium will travel at a slower speed.
Different kinds of energy waves that move at the speed of light in a vacuum make up the?
In any substance, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed that light travels through that substance.
What tool for measuring the space?
light speed:)
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
How fast do waves travel through space?
all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through space. This is the speed of light, or 300 000 000 m/s (3x108 m/s).
Is it true that different kinds of E-M waves travel through space at different speeds?
No. All E-M waves travel through space at the same speed, known as the"Speed of Light".
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
What speed do electromagnetic energy travel through space?
186,000 miles or 300,000,000 meters per second. The speed of light.
Do electromagnetic waves all travel at the same speed through space?
Through a vacuum ... yes. Through outer space, which is not quite a vacuum ... not quite, but very very close.
What form of energy can travel through space at the speed of light?
(a) Electromagnetic waves; that includes light. (b) Gravity waves.
Who discovered that electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space at the speed of light?
James Clerk Maxwell.
Can you travel through time in space?
Theoretically, it is possible to travel through time: by travelling at a great speed. But the speed at which you would have to travel would be faster than the speed of light, and would therefore kill every known living being.
At what speed do light waves in space travel?
186000
Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
What is the refractive index?
refractive index is the measure of how how fast or slow light travel through a material reference to the speed of light in empty space.
