Which is faster and why speed or light?

Light is faster because speed does not move. Speed is a measure of the rate of movement but, in itself, it does not move - at all!


Can electrons move slower than the speed of light?

They can ONLY move slower than the speed of light.


What type of waves move faster than speed of light?

So far nothing is found to move at a faster speed than that of light.


Why you cannot accelerate electrons greater than the velocity of light in free space?

Nothing can be made to move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum; for objects that move slower than light, even reaching the speed of light would require an infinite energy.


Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?

No. The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound. Nothing can move faster than the speed of light.


Can Naruto move faster than light?

No. No object can move faster then light. However, Minato Namikaze (the Fourth Hokage) and Uchiha Madara posses the ability to move at speed nearing the speed or light, or the speed of light itself, utilizing the space-time ninjutsu.

How fast do electric currents move?

Yes, typically about 2/3 of the speed of light in a vacuum - that is, about 200,000 km/sec. Note that the drift speed of the electrons is only a fraction of a millimeter per second, and the random speed of electrons is faster, but still much slower than the speed of the CURRENT.Yes, typically about 2/3 of the speed of light in a vacuum - that is, about 200,000 km/sec.

Is electricty faster than light?

Electricity can move at the speed of light but no faster. In general it won't due to electrical resistance.


Do electrons move near faster than the speed of light?

No. There is no "normal" speed for electrons: they move at a wide range of speeds. When carrying electricity in a domestic wire, the actual speed of individual electrons is less than 1 millimetre per second! On the other hand, electrons in an atom can travel around the nucleus at over a million metres per second - though this motion is not like planetary orbits around the sun. However, this is nowhere near the speed of light which is appox 300 million metres per second.
