The distance in meters covered by light in one second is considered to determine the speed of light. Speed of light is 3*108m/s. The unit of speed of light is meters per second.

What two base quantities are used to measure speed?
meter per second
How can the technique of this experiment be used to determine whether any two different colors of light such as red light and blue light travel at the same speed inside the plastic?
Describe the experiment and its technique for me, and I'm likely to spot it.
Is there proof that the speed of light is not the speed limit?
The speed of light is only the speed limit for information. There are many experiments showing that we can made "non-information" travel faster than the speed of light. For example, in quantum mechanics the phase velocity is faster than the speed of light but the group velocity is slower (or equal to) the speed of light. Also, if two light waves are traveling at the speed of light and they interact, e.g. they constructively interfere with each other, the interference can travel faster than the speed of light. Once again, the speed limit of light is only on information. The word "information" is sometimes tricky to define though.
What two factors determine the distance from the free surface to the basal surface in epithelial tissue?
Speed and distance
What did albert mitchelson use to measure the speed of light?
Two mountains. He sent pulsed light from one mountain to a reflector on another. The travel time was measured and divided by two.
What two quantities are neccesarz to determine a vector quantities?
It is necessary to know the magnitude and the direction of the vector.
What is the ratio of the length of a square?
To determine a ratio, you need two quantities, not just one.
What two quantities do you need to measure in order to determine density of an object?
mass and volume
What two quantities do you need to measure in order to determine the density of the object?
mass and volume
What two base quantities are used to measure speed?
meter per second
What are two things that determine the color of a light wave?
the two things that determine the color of a light wave are its wavelength and the material it reflects from.
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
Which two physical quantities must be measured in order to determine the density of a liquid?
Weight (mass) and volume.
How can the technique of this experiment be used to determine whether any two different colors of light such as red light and blue light travel at the same speed inside the plastic?
Describe the experiment and its technique for me, and I'm likely to spot it.
What is an equation that relates two or more quantities?
A mathematical formula, such as Speed = Distance / Time for example.
Which two factors determine speed of motion?
Speed of motion is determined by time and distance.
What two quantities needed to calculate the speed of a car?
You need:* Distance Travelled * Time taken to travel that distance Speed = Distance / Time
