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.

∙ 13y agoAs light's velocity is constant through any given medium, its acceleration is zero inside that medium.

∙ 10y agoThe speed of light does not accelerate as it is a constant speed. Protons which make up light however, do accelerate to achieve this speed as they rapidly travel through space.

When a car slows down at a traffic light it is?
acceleration, I think
If Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 kilometers per second What is the light's acceleration?
Trick question. A "constant speed" automatically means zero acceleration -- there is no change in speed.
What acceleration example occurs when a car stops at a traffic light?
Rather, a car stoppping at a light is an example of deceleration but one of the possible example of acceleration when a car stops at a traffic light is a pedestrian accelerating across the road or other car in different lanes accelerating to move to on in their journey.
Is it possible for a body to have its velocity and acceleration pointing in opposite directions?
Sure. Anything that's slowing down has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions. -- A ball tossed up in the air has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car stopping for a red light has forward velocity and backward acceleration.

What is light's acceleration if its traveling at a constant speed of 300000 km s?
It has no acceleration. The definition of acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so if it is traveling at a constant speed, it has no acceleration. Also, the speed of light is a constant, which means it does not change.
What are exmaples of acceleration?
When you are stopped at a light, and it turns green, you start to drive forward. That is acceleration.
When a car slows at a traffic light it is?
acceleration, I think
What are the following terms-angular acceleration-centripetal acceleration-instantaneous acceleration-ballistic pendulum-angle of deviation-therionic emission of light-first law of thermodynamic?
instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at one point. yeah, it's true
When a car slows down at a traffic light it is?
acceleration, I think
A car approaching a red light is an example of?
Negative acceleration
How many g's is the speed of light?
speed of light is constant velocity and does not accelerate so there is no g force
If Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 kilometers per second What is the light's acceleration?
Trick question. A "constant speed" automatically means zero acceleration -- there is no change in speed.
Battery light goes on during acceleration?
alternator is going out Or the belt is slipping
What does ASR dash light mean in Isuzu NPR truck?
The ASR dash light is a brake assist system/acceleration slip regulation light. When this light comes on in the Isuzu NPR truck, the on board computer in the vehicle detected a malfunction in the acceleration slip regulation and the vehicle needs to be taken for service.
KIA Check engine light is on and code P1308 caused the light ot turn on. What does code P1308 mean?
P1308 Chassis Acceleration Sensor Signal Low P1308 Chassis Acceleration Sensor Signal Low
What does ECO light on a Toyota caldina dashboard mean?
The ECO Light on a Toyota Sienna comes on when in light acceleration. It holds the Transmission Shift points longer to give the Sienna better fuel economy. under moderate to hard acceleration the ECO light will go off and the transmission will have very quick shift points.
