The sun rising every morning. Its' light traveled about 93,000,00 miles through a vacuum in order to be seen.
If you accept that the space between the Earth and the Moon is lacking in atmosphere, that is, its a pretty good vacuum, then the simple fact that you can see the Moon (and Sun and Stars) is enough proof for me.

Ok. Space is a vacuum. The sun gives light. The earth receives the light. Light travels through space in order to get there.

Give an example of when the normal force on an object is less than mg?

When you are traveling up an incline.


What is the frequency of light in fused quartz if the wavelength in vacuum is 500nm?

Divide the speed of light in a vacuum (in meters/second) by the wavelength (which you must convert to meters); that will give you the frequency in hertz. The frequency will be the same for different substances.

What object doesn't give out light?

Anything that you can't see in a dark room. Like my shoes, for example.


Is there a wavelength for electricity?

Sure, if it is AC (alternating current), you can calculate a wavelength. For example, in copper the speed is roughly 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum, that is, 200,000 km/sec.; electricity in our homes comes at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second; so (assuming the frequency of 50 cycles), that would give you a wavelength of 200,000 km/sec / 50 Hertz = 4000 km.Sure, if it is AC (alternating current), you can calculate a wavelength.
