It depends on how you look at matter. For example, photons are what is known as the particles of light, so imagine light being a stream of particles. These will travel at the speed of light within a vacuum. As of yet we have not achieved, and are nowhere near getting large matter like a person to travel anywhere near that speed.

Does matter turn into light when achieving the speed of light?
The question "What does matter do when it achieves the speed of light ?" is a BS question, because matter cannot achieve the speed of light.
Can you get off a horse when it is moving at light speed?
No, you can't it's impossible. No matter can go at the speed of light.
What is the speed of light near to the event horizon of a Black hole?
The speed of light is a constant, it does not matter in or out of a black hole.
Speed of light will be minimum when it passes through?
the speed of light, commonly denoted as "c", is constant no matter which medium it passes through.
What speed can a infra red light reach up to?
There's no reason that infrared light should move at a speed different from the speed of any other wavelength of light, or for that matter, the speed of any other form of electromagnetic radiation. The speed of infrared light is simply the speed of light in whatever medium it happens to find itself at the moment.

When was Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light created?
Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light was created in 2004.
Can gross matter be transported by light waves?
No, that's Star Trek technology!
What is being transported as the waves move through matter or space?
The energy is being transported. In the case of a light wave, it is electromagnetic energy. In the case of a sound wave, it is sound energy. (The matter is not being transported, only the energy.)
At what speed can matter travel?
Matter can travel at any speed you like, if you can pump enough energy into it.The only limit is the speed of light. If you can supply it with enough energy, thenyou can make the matter move as close to the speed of light as you want it to,but there is not enough energy anywhere to make it move at the speed of light.
Why is the speed of sound slower then the speed of light?
The sound needs a medium to be transported. Without that medium (vacuum) there is no sound. The sound is blocked by air mulecules. The light does not need a medium.
Can you get off a horse when it is moving at light speed?
No, you can't it's impossible. No matter can go at the speed of light.
Why the speed of light has been quoted as being 'in a vacuum' yet the speed of sound is at a specific temperature?
Light will be transported without a medium. The speed of light is = 299 792 458 m/s. Sound need a medium to be transported. It's mostly air, where the temperature is important. The speed of air is 343 m/s at 20 degrees Celsius and 331.3 m/s at 0 degrees Celsius.

Is it possible to transport matter at light speed if so would it be considered teleportation?
It's not possible to transport matter at light speed, and you can call it anything you want to.
When does light undergo refraction?
light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light
How matter waves are greater than the velocity of light?
There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
