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.
What percentage of the speed of light in vacuum is the speed of light in water?
When light with wavelength of 589 nanometers moves through water at the temperature of 20° C, its speed is 75% of the speed of light in vacuum.
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
Why is the speed of light medium?
The speed of light is not medium: in vacuum, it is the highest speed that there can be. Hardly a definition of medium!
What is speed does light travel?
Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, in a vacuum.
Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?
The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.
Does the speed of light change in a vacuum?
No, not as long as the light stays in vacuum.No, it does not. That is where it has its maximum speed.
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.
Which of these is constant for ALL types of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?
Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
What is the speed of light of a vacuum?

How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
What percentage of the speed of light in vacuum is the speed of light in water?
When light with wavelength of 589 nanometers moves through water at the temperature of 20° C, its speed is 75% of the speed of light in vacuum.
What is the speed of light in miles per second in a vacuum?
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum.
The speed of light indicates how fast light can travel in a vacuum?
Yes ... in a vacuum.
How much faster is the speed of light than the speed of electricity without using superconducting materials eg in normal computers?
We generally consider that the force of an electric field moves at the speed of light. And electricity moves at the speed of light.
What is the speed of light on the moon?
The speed of light in vacuum is the same everywhere.
