There are a number of possible statements that are true.

  • The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 metres per second.
  • The speed of light in vacuum is the same as the speed of other electromagnetic radiation in vacuum.
  • No massive can be accelerated to travel at the speed of light.

the true answer is light speed


Why is the speed of light a fact?

A "fact" is basically anything you can state, especially if such a statement is true. Since you can say "light has a speed", and since that is true, it follows that it's a fact. Light through a "vacuum" is the meaning of "the speed of light." Light through glass is slower.

When travels from air to glass its speed increases?

Of course not,it is not true. The speed of light decreases


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

True


What is the purpose of the speed sensor on a Mitsubishi Lancer?

to calculate the true speed of the car taking wind speed and direction into account, like a light aircraft (TAS - true air speed)


Is this true or false that light moves slower through water than through air?

Yes it is true. If c is the speed of light in air then in water it will be 3/4 of c Hence refractive index of water = speed of light in air/speed of light in water So refractive index = 4/3 = 1.333


Is it true that speed of light changes with medium?

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


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 it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?

In a vacuum, all colors of light travel at the same speed, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). This speed is known as the speed of light and is a universal constant that does not change based on the color of light.


Do we see the universe now as it existed in the past?

True, since the speed of light is finite.
