Let's say that you can accomplish a complete blink in one hundredth (0.01) of a second.
In that amount of time, a beam of light could travel . . .
-- from New York City to Albuquerque, New Mexico,
-- or from Los Angeles to Grand Rapids, Michigan
-- or from London to Rome and back to London
-- or from Jerusalem to Berlin
-- or from Miami to Disney World and back to Miami, almost five times.
What else can I help you with?
What is the highest speed that can be observed in nature?
The speed of light in a vacuum, about 299,792 kilometers per second, is considered the highest speed in the universe. Nothing with mass can travel at or faster than the speed of light according to the theory of relativity.
Which of these two is faster is it lightning or thunder?
The lightning. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. In addition, lightning creates thunder, therefore it happens first, therefore must be faster. See the related link for more information.
Why was light from the rocket seen before the sound of rocket was heard?
Because light travels significantly faster than sound. Speed of light (in vacuum) = 299 792 458 m/s Speed of Sound (at sea-level ) = 340.29 m/s
Can light travel faster than sound?
Under normal circumstances, no. The speed of light in a vacuum is roughly 300,000,000 meters/second, while the speed of sound through air is 340 meters/second. However light does not travel 3x109 m/s inside a medium, and recent experiments have shown there are ways to slow light down to a crawl. In such a medium, usually a crystal structure, sound could indeed travel faster than light.
Is electricity faster than sound?
Yes. In air, sound travels at about 300 or 330 meters/second (it varies, depending on the temperature - also, sound in water or steel, for example, is quite a bit faster). But an electrical signal can go at about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - that would be about 200,000 kilometers/second.
Do you go back in time if you blink faster than the speed of light?
I'm thinking that this is easy to test and find out.When you blink, the only part of you that moves is your eyelid. The rest of you stays still.So if you move your eyelid faster than the speed of light and it goes back in time,then your eyelid would disappear, because the rest of you would stay here in thepresent time.You could try it any time, wherever you are, and see what happens.But how fast would you have to blink ?If your eyelid moves a whole inch during a blink, then in order to move at the speedof light, you'd have to move it fast enough to blink 11,802,827,520 times in one second.That's about 590 thousand times faster than that high squeal you hear froma mosquito's wings.Do you think you can do that ? Good luck on your experiment.
The first person to fly faster than the speed of light was?
No human has flown faster than the speed of light, as it is currently considered impossible based on our understanding of physics. The speed of light, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, is the cosmic speed limit according to the theory of relativity.
What is faster speed of light or speed of night?
Light.
What is faster mind or light?
The speed of knowledge/information travels faster than the speed of light.
Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?
Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.
What is faster than the blink of an eye?
a rapid movement of the eyelid to moisture the surface of the eye.
Which is faster and why speed or light?
Light is faster because speed does not move. Speed is a measure of the rate of movement but, in itself, it does not move - at all!
Is the eye faster than light?
The eye moves at the same speed the human moves.The eye also receives information atthe speed of light. What you "see" is what your eye receives as information transmitted in the form of "visible light" deciphered by your brain into an image.So no, your eye does not move nor "sees" faster than the speed of light
Is the sun faster than the speed of light?
Nothing travels faster then the speed of light (according to our understanding of physics)
What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
Is the bullet train faster than the speed of light?
No, not quite. We know that for sure, because nothingmoves faster than the speed of light.
Define speed of sound?
Faster then speed of light.
