Best Answer

If a beam of light strikes a perfect black body, it will be absorbed and, therefore, you will have been able to "stop light in air" as was asked. If your question is about stopping the beam and holding it in place in some way, you cannot. The speed of light is a constant, and will be found to be the same in any inertial frame. If you could measure the speed of a beam of light and were moving "along side" the beam to measure its speed, you'd find it a constant no matter how fast you were moving. Stopping a beam of light in air is not something that can be done as asked.

What does the stop light mean on a freightliner truck?

Really depends on model year, and what specifically the light is. If it's the stop engine light, then a fault has been detected which will cause the engine to shut down. On older trucks with mechanical engines, a stop light typically meant that inadequate air pressure is in the system.


What does the red warning light in the Citroen Synergie temperature gauge indicate?

It is a dual purpose warning light. It will illuminate if the coolant temperature gets too high, and, if air conditioning is fitted, certain faults will cause the warning light to flash. If it is an air conditioning fault then turning the air conditioning off will stop the light from flashing.
