What does special relativity say about the speed of light?
The speed of light is constant.
What is special about the speed of light?
you cant see it
How slow can light go?
In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.In some special substances, it was possible to slow the speed of light to just a few meters per second - incredibly slow compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.
If special relativity states that the speed of light is a constant how can refractive index be an indication of a change in the speed of light?
The relativity statement refers specifically to the speed of light in a vacuum.
Is the speed of light faster in a liquid?
No. According to special theory of relativity, the speed of light in all inertial mediums remains the same as that in the vacuum.
Why is the cheetah special animal?
because of there speed.
Why is the speed of light not higher?
The particle that is light is called the Photon. The photon is massless and can travel faster than any other particle because it has no mass. Any particle that has mass will require infinite energy to reach the velocity of light, which is impossible because the particle will have infinite mass in the process (Remember E=mc^2).
Why is light able to travel at the speed of light?
Because light has no mass.
This theory by Albert Einstein explains why all observers have their own separate measure of time because of the finite speed of light?
The theory of special relativity.
Does matter turn into light when achieving the speed of light?
The question "What does matter do when it achieves the speed of light ?" is a BS question, because matter cannot achieve the speed of light.
If you turn on a flashlight while on a spaceship going the speed of light what speed is the light from the flashlight moving at?
c - Light goes at c in all frames of reference according to Special relativity
Where does a photon get its speed from?
Nowhere. A photon must travel at the speed of light so it starts with that speed when it is created. This is the origin of the theory of special relativity.
