What happens to frequency does the speed of light ever change?
The speed of light IN A VACUUM is always the same. In substances other than the vacuum, the speed of light is usually slower than in a vacuum.
Does the speed of light ever slow down?
The speed of light is different in different substances ... air, water, glass, jello, etc.
Will light speed travel be possible in our lifetime?
Probably not in five lifetimes! Light speed travel is a work of fiction, like in sci fi movies. No human will ever travel at the speed of light.
How do you find the speed of light?
Turn your light off then on, how long time does it takes. There you got the speed of light !!!! 300,000 km a sec is fast.
What is the velocity of violet light?
Have you ever heard of "The Speed of Light" ? Have you ever wondered why it's just a number, and it doesn't say anything about the color of the light ? The speed of all colors of light is the same, as long as they're all moving through the same substance. It's the number called the "Speed of Light", which you should be able to look up quite easily.
How did early astronauts travel the speed of light?
Nobody has ever traveled at the speed of light, and I can promise you that nobody ever will.

What can travel at the speed of light?
Nothing can travel at the speed of light, only light itself, the closest we have ever gotten to the speed of light is 99.9 %, we have accelerated particles at very very close to the speed of light using the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The only thing that can go faster than the speed of light, is Space.
Is it really no objects can't move in the speed of light?
Yes it is..Therotically no object can move in the speed of light.But now scientists are trying to find the conditions for which a particle can move in the speed of light. No, anything massless can (and must!) move at c. No object carrying mass can ever move at c.
What happens to the speed of light when air changes to gas?
I'm afraid nothing happens to the speed of light ever. Also "air" is consider'd a gas.
