Normally, the answer to that kind of question would depend on what you call "low".

In the case of light, however, probably nobody would call it a 'low' speed, because

it's physically impossible for anything in creation to travel faster than light in a vacuum. It is possible for things to travel faster than light does in other media, but it's not exactly common, and it's still very much on the "fast" end of the scale.

no


Does convection or conduction travel at the speed of light?

No. The speeds of convection and conduction vary, but they are nowhere near the speed of light.

Why does light refract?

Because light travels at different velocities, and various colors of light also travel at different speeds in optical media.


How does light refract?

it refracts because it travels in different velocities and other colors of light travel in different speeds When light crosses a boundary between mediums, it changes speeds, and it bends or changes the angle that it is travailing at when it crosses the boundary.


Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?

No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.

Can you travel slower or faster than the speed of light since supermassive blackholes launch stars out at 99.8 percent or something the speed of light by using regular space travel to go over 100?

Can you travel slower than the speed of light? Yes.Can you travel faster than the speed of light? No.Supermassive black holes launching out stars... No, they launch out jets of matter, not entire stars.... at 99.8 percent or so... Yes, those streams of matter reach very high speeds. But those speeds are always lower than the speed of light.Space travel to go over 100... There is probably no way to travel faster than the speed of light.Can you travel slower than the speed of light? Yes.Can you travel faster than the speed of light?
