What does light travel in?
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.
Has it been proven impossible to travel at a velocity equal to the speed of light?
Faster than light travel is possible, but only for small particles like tachyons. Travel for humans is virtually impossible unless a way is developed to convert humans to particles. It has been proven improbable, but technology may prove it possible in the far future.
It is possible to have particles that travel the speed of light?
Yes. Light particles travel at the speed of light, hf = mc^2; m=hf/c^2 = h/cw = 7.40E-51f.
What travels at light speed besides engines?
Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.
Can light travel forever in a vacuum?
Yes, light can travel forever in a vacuum because there are no particles to absorb or scatter it.
Who proposed the light consisted of particles that travel in straight lines through space?
Isaac Newton proposed that light consisted of particles that travel in straight lines through space.
Which particle travels the fastest?
There are some particles that travel at the speed of light - mainly, the photon (the particle that makes up light), and the (hypothetical) graviton. No particles are known to travel faster than that, and it doesn't seem likely that this is at all possible.
What is the name of particles that travel faster than light?
neutrinos
Do gamma particles travel fastest?
Gamma particles are photons - or electromagnetic waves. They travel at the speed of light; nothing can go faster than that.
The scattering of light caused by small suspended particles?
This scattering of light by small particles is known as the Tyndall effect. It occurs when light strikes particles in a medium, causing the light to scatter in different directions, making the beam visible. This effect is commonly observed in colloids, dust particles in the air, or fog.
What are faster than light particles?
There are currently no known particles that travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, as Einstein's theory of relativity states that nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light. However, there are theoretical particles called tachyons that are hypothesized to travel faster than light, but they have not been observed experimentally.
What is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture whose particles are too small to reflect or scatter light. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture containing particles that are small enough to stay suspended but large enough to scatter light.
