The speed of light is different in different media; light travels more slowly in water than it does in air, for example.

∙ 12y agoThe speed of light depends on the material it's traveling through, but as long as
the light stays in the same material, its speed doesn't change.

How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
Is it light speed or the speed of light?
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
Is the speed of light or sound faster?
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
How photon differ from an inertial particle?
In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the speed of light. A regular particle can ONLY move at speeds less than the speed of light.

What is the landing speed of light aeroplane?
Landing speeds of all aircaft differ. Most light aircraft will land around 45-60 mph.
Consider two slabs of material with the same thickness but made of materials differing in their index of refraction?
THE SPEED OF LIGHT WILL DIFFER IN THE TWO SLABS
Is it the speed of light or light speed?
Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s
How does photon differ from inertial particle?
A photon is said to be "massless", meaning that it has no REST MASS (of course, having energy, it also has an equivalent mass).In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the so-called speed of light (about 300,000 km/second). "Regular" particles can ONLY move at sub-light speed. They can get close to the speed of light, but never quite reach it.

Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?
speed of light
What is faster Speed of Light or Speed of Eyesight?
The speed of light.
How does velocity differ from speed?
Velocity indicates direction in addition to speed.
How was the speed of light measured?
In light speed.
