What is the speed of light in machs?
if calculated it right it is mach 882352.94 at sea level
When did scientists attempt to measure the speed of light?
Are you asking when the speed of light was first estimated, or are you asking when the speed of light was first actually measured?
Does Light have a speed or a velocity speed of light or velocity of light?
Light travels at the speed of light. There is no general velocity of light because velocity is a vector quantity, it also contains a direction and there is no preferred direction for light rays in general. Another answer: The speed of light has been calculated to be 186,000 miles per second.
Can the speed of light be calculated?
Answer: The speed of light was determined through experimentation, such as the timing of moons passing behind Jupiter. Many formulas are based upon the speed of light, but that number had to be determined beforehand. Light travels 299,792,458 meters per second (or 186,282.397 miles per second in a vacuum. Answer: Yes, the speed of light can be deduced from the electrical properties of empty space. However, in practice it is more accurate to measure the speed of light.
What did Aristotle contribute to the discovery of the speed of light?
Aristotle did not directly contribute to the discovery of the speed of light. The speed of light was first measured by Ole Roemer in the 17th century using observations of Jupiter's moon Io, and later refined by other scientists. Aristotle's work primarily focused on natural philosophy and did not extend to the study of light and its speed.
How refractive index calculated?
The refractive index of a material is calculated by dividing the speed of light in a vacuum by the speed of light in that material. It indicates how much the speed of light is reduced when passing through the material, providing information about how light bends as it enters the material.
How did physicist calculated the prise measurement of the speed of light?
Stop watch and a light switch
Ho calculated the speed of light mathematically?
James Clerk-Maxwell did.

What is Frequency of 850nm Light?
The frequency of 850nm light is approximately 353 THz (terahertz). This is calculated using the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s) and the formula frequency = speed of light / wavelength.
Who is the scientist use the light year to measure the speed of light?
It doesn't work that way. The light-year is not used to measure the speed of light. It works the other way round: First, the speed of light is determined through other methods, then the distance called a light-year is calculated based on that measurements.
How to calculate index refraction?
Index of refraction can be calculated using the formula n = c/v, where n is the index of refraction, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, and v is the speed of light in the medium. Just divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the speed of light in the medium to find the index of refraction for that medium.
Does Light have a speed or a velocity speed of light or velocity of light?
Light travels at the speed of light. There is no general velocity of light because velocity is a vector quantity, it also contains a direction and there is no preferred direction for light rays in general. Another answer: The speed of light has been calculated to be 186,000 miles per second.
Do scientist study other galaxies because they want to learn about the speed of light?
No. We already know a good deal about the speed of light. Scientists study other galxies to learn how galaxies work.
Why do you measure distance in the universe in light years?
It's the fastest speed anyone can prove exists. Any speeds in excess of light speed are still just theory. Some scientists believe it is the fastest speed that will ever be achievable.( a cosmic speed limit.)
What is light frequencies?
The frequency of a wave of light is given by speed of light/wavelength, or by energy/Planck's constant.If you know the frequency or the energy associated with the light, it is easily calculated.
