Yes. The speed of light in a vacuum (or space) is 3x10^8 m/s. Light will travel slower in any other medium.

What is the the speed at which a wave travel through a medium?

the true answer is light speed


Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums True or false?

True


The speed of light is faster in a liquid true or false?

True, the speed of light is faster in a transparent medium like water or glass compared to its speed in a vacuum. This difference in speed is due to the different refractive indexes of the medium, which affects the speed at which light travels through it.


Is the speed of light the same in every medium?

No, depending on the matter, speed of light can vary. It's speed is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the matter. It travels the fastest through Vacuum>>Air>>Liquids>>Solids.


What does 186282mps S of L mean in math?

It is NOT a standard phrase, but "186282 miles per second Speed of Light".It is not a standard phrase becauseit is true for the speed of all electromagnetic radiation in vacuum, not just light, andit is not true if the medium is not vacuum.


Newton's work showed that speed of light and sound were constant true or false?

False. Newton's work did not involve the speed of light and sound. The concept of constant speed of light was later formulated by Einstein in his theory of relativity. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it travels through.


Is it true that light is refracted when it leaves one kind of matter and enters another because the speed changes?

yes


When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?

False. In general, the speed of sound increases as the temperature of a medium increases. This is because higher temperatures lead to greater molecular motion, which increases the speed at which sound waves can travel through the medium.


Is it true when light travels from one medium through another light it refracts?

Refraction of light is a phenomenon in which light rays passing from one medium to another change its direction. Refraction takes place at the interface of two medium of different optical density.For a light of given wavelength and for a given pair of media, the ratio of sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is always a constant. And this constant is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium.


Does refraction occur when light passes through a piece of glass?

Yes, refraction occurs when light passes through a piece of glass. As light travels from one medium to another, such as from air to glass, it changes speed and bends, resulting in refraction. This bending of light is due to the difference in the optical density of the two mediums.


Is it true that Light travel through all transparent media at the same speed?

No, light does not travel at the same speed through all transparent media. The speed of light can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through. It typically travels slower through materials like glass or water compared to its speed in a vacuum.


Light is refracted when it leaves one kind of matter and enters another because the speed changes?

a) true b) false
