What is the acceleration of light?
That depends on what your light ray is traveling through. If through vacuum, then its speed is 299,792,458 meters per second. If through anything else but vacuum, then (299,792,458 meters per second) divided by (the index of refraction of that material.
Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?
When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.
Why does sound travel at different speeds?
The speed of sound depends on the medium through which the sound travels.
How do you measure constant velocity?
Constant velocity is, well, constant. To measure it, measure the displacement through a given or fixed period of time. You'll have distance and time. Distance per unit time is speed. Distance per unit time (speed) with a direction vector is velocity. Velocity is speed in a given direction. If something is moving at constant velocity, it is moving at a constant speed in one direction. No changes in speed (no positive or negative acceleration, or, said another way, no acceleration at all), and no change in direction or heading.
Does light travel faster through the lower atmosphere or through the upper atmosphere?
The speed of light is constant in a given medium.
Why is the speed of sound constant despite changing frequencies?
Speed of sound in a medium depends only on the properties on the medium.
What is the formula for computing acceleration if we are given constant speed and time?
If you have a constant speed, you are not accelerating.
How do you compute the force of a given mass at a constant speed?
The force on a mass moving at a constant speed and direction is 0.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the medium temperature and pressure do not changes?
remains constant
What happens to the speed of a wave of the medium temperature and pressure do not change?
remains constant
What is the acceleration of light?

The ratio of the speed of light in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum is called its?
It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".
How light travels in a single medium in terms of speed and bending of light?
In a single homogeneous medium (electrical properties constant throughout the medium), the speed of light is constant ... although less than its speed in vacuum ... and the light does not bend. Bending (refraction) only occurs at the boundary between different media in which the speeds are different, or in a single medium whose properties change gradually (like the atmosphere).
Is energy transferred at constant speed in wave motion?
Yes, as long as the medium doesn't change.
When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
Speed of light will be minimum when it passes through?
the speed of light, commonly denoted as "c", is constant no matter which medium it passes through.
