What else can I help you with?
When a gun is fired its sound his heard a little after seeing its flash?
The light shown by the flash travels at the speed of light, while sound waves travels slower. It is the different speeds of light and sound that causes sound to be heard after seeing the flash.
Can the speed of light be measured accurately by the naked eye?
No, the speed of light cannot be accurately measured by the naked eye. While humans can observe the effects of light, such as seeing a flash or a distant object, our perception is not precise enough to measure the speed of light. Accurate measurements require specialized equipment, such as lasers and high-speed cameras, to capture and analyze light's behavior.
What accounts for the time difference in seeing and hearing an explosion?
The difference in the speed of sound and the speed of light. Light travels much faster than sound, so you will see it, and then hear it. The further away, the greater the time difference.
If you hold a flashlight at the speed of light can you still see it?
Need clarification please. The "it" you are referring to seeing, does that represent; A) the flashlight, B) the light from the flashlight, or C) "the speed of light"? Did you mean to imply that the flashlight was switched on? Is it an "old fashioned" bulb, an LED bulb, a laser light, or some other energy? Just wondering.
Is it the speed of light or light speed?
Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s
What accounts for the time difference between seeing and hearing a fireworks display.?
The time difference is due to the differences in the speed of light and sound. Light travels near 300,000,000 meters/second where sound travels 343 meters/second. Light travels almost one million times faster than sound therefore it reaches you first.
Why is there a delay between the lightning an thunder?
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
When you look at the sun why are you seeing it as it was rather than as it is?
The sun is 93 million miles from earth. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. It takes the light from the sun approximately 8 minutes to travel to earth. This is the reason why when you look at the sun you are actually seeing it as it was approximately 8 minutes ago.
Can what you see really be what it is?
Light's speed is finite, so when you look out into space and see a star, you're seeing into the past, so it might have gone supernova or something.
What is perception of light?
Seeing.
Is it light speed or the speed of light?
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)
What cells in the eye detect light and dark but not color?
Rods are for seeing light and dark, cones are for seeing color.
