What does The International Committee on Weights and Measures designates the speed of light as?
They don't designate the speed of light, but they do define the meter as1/299,792,458 of the distance that light travels in one second in vacuum.
Which is correct speed of light or velocity of light?
They are both accurate but velocity gives more information as it is speed with a direction
Is the speed of light a law or theory?
The speed of light is a number. It was a theory before it was measured. After it was measured, and the prediction was found to be correct, it was no longer a theory nor a hypothesis. It became a "physical constant".
When light travels from air to glass the wave speed decreases B'coz glass is denser than air.?
Correct.
Is it light speed or the speed of light?
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)

Who calcuated the speed of light?
James Clerk-Maxwell did. He was shown to be correct when the speed was actually measured.
What does anomometer measures?
it measures wind speed!! -bri it measures wind speed!! -bri
What does velocity measures in addition to speed?
Velocity measures speed and direction.
What would you use to measure wind?
An 'anemometer' measures speed of windAn 'anemometer' measures speed of wind
What term refers to travelling at the speed of light is it gold or curiosity?
curiosity... is the correct answer
Which is correct speed of light or velocity of light?
They are both accurate but velocity gives more information as it is speed with a direction
What measures speed of a car?
A sensor in the transmission, measures the output shaft speed.
Why was the speed of light important in deciding which theory was correct?
It isn't clear what theories you are talking about.
Is it correct to say that in every case any radio wave travels faster than any sound wave?
Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.
Why is the statement the speed of light is 300 million not always correct?
The speed of light, or c, is a constant. The speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second IN A VACUUM. That's 670,616,629.2 miles per hour or 983,571,056 feet per second.
What does an anomometer measures?
An anemometer measures wind speed.
