If you mean "normal speed" to be the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, then no. Anything that differs from light moving through a vacuum slows the light down to a certain extent.

How do you exceed the speed of light?

You can't .


Can light exceed its normal speed?

No, according to current scientific understanding, light travels at a constant speed in a vacuum, known as the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is a fundamental constant of nature and cannot be exceeded by light or any other object.


What Atom can travel faster than the speed of light?

Nothing can exceed the speed of light - Einstein called it the "cosmic speed limit".


Is it possible to get more speed then light to the particle with accelerator?

No, according to the theory of relativity, it is impossible for any particle with mass to reach or exceed the speed of light. Accelerators can increase the speed of particles to high fractions of the speed of light, but they cannot exceed it.


Is it possible to breach the speed of light?

As far as is known nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light. There are 'things' that exceed light speed, such as wave guides, but mass or information cannot do so.


Why does light that is normal to a refracting surface not get refracted?

Because the angle of refraction depends (among other things) on the difference between the angle of incidence and the normal. Therefore, if if the angle of incidence is equal to 90 degrees (normal), then the angle of refraction is zero. This is the reason why images, when viewed straight-on through a window, do not appear distorted. Or, think about it like this: If light was refracted when normally incident, which way would it refract?


Why are electrons travel at greater than speed of light in television?

They don't. Nothing can exceed the speed of light. Electrons in a television travel much slower than the speed of light.


If light waves change speed as they pass from one medium into another at an angle the light will be?

If light waves change speed as they pass from one medium into another at an angle, the light will be refracted, meaning it will bend as it enters the new medium. This bending is due to the change in speed of the light wave.


Why light passes undeviated falling straight on a refracting medium?

If by "straight on" you mean at 90 degrees to the surface of the medium, that is because light is only deviated if it makes an angle with the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface of the medium. If no angle is made between the normal line and the light ray, then no refraction occurs and the light passes through in a straight line. For more information see the related link below.


Can tachyons go faster than light speed?

Some theories suggest that tachyons could travel faster than the speed of light, but they have not been observed. In current physics, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light.


Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?

Light bends when passing from air to glass (or vice versa) due to a change in the speed of light, which is influenced by the different densities of the two mediums. This change in speed results in the light rays refracting or bending as they enter or exit the medium to maintain the speed of light.


Will it ever be possible to exceed the speed of light because apparently neutrinos have been sent through Cern FTL?

The speed of light is exceeded by several things. Wave guides for instance. However all present theories preclude any information or mass to exceed the speed of light. Neutrinos have never been sent through the CERN collider at super-luminal velocities.
