Einstein says that the speed of light is the same to all observers. This raises some interesting problems and his theories of relativity set out to solve them. But that aside, the speed of light is the same in olive oil and a diamond as it is anywhere else.

Light refracts when it passes from rarer medium to denser medium & vice versa.

As air is optically rarer & oil is optically denser, light will be refracted.

It changes when the light enters the oil, and again when the light

leaves the oil, but not while the light is in the oil.

It will get bent.The bending will depend on what the medium is from which it enters the oil.

What happens to the speed of light in motor oil?

As long as the light remains in the motor oil, nothing happens to its speed.


What happens to the speed of light in oil and in a glass?

Nothing happens to it. The speed of light is constant as long as it stays in the oil, and although it changes as it crosses the boundary from one to the other, it stays constant again once it's in the glass.


Oil light goes on and off in your 2000 hyundia tiburon as you speed up and slow down?

Check oil level, oil filter, oil pump.


Is it light speed or the speed of light?

speed of light I think well it sounds right:)


Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?

The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.

Oil pressure light comes on when idling still light goes out when idle speed goes up?

The most common reason for the oil pressure light to come on when your vehicle is idling, is low oil. Check your engine oil and make sure the oil is up to the full mark on the dipstick.


Why does a 1989 300D lose some oil pressure and the oil light come on at high speed?

could be oil is low or in need of a oil and filter change. n0rt


Oil light comes on when you push your brakes?

Oil Pressure Warning Light ActivationThe oil pressure warning light activates from a pressure sensing switch in the engine oil lubricating system. When the oil pressure goes below a preset minimal safe pressure for the engine , the light is supposed to come on.The speed of the oil pump is directly proportional to the engine speed, and if the engine turns too slowly, then the oil pump turns too slowly, and the output volume of oil will be reduced.To my recollection, the most probable causes of activation of the low oil pressure warning light on deceleration of the vehicle are:The oil level in the crancase is LOW, orThe engine idle speed is set too low, and thus the oil pump output is low.

Maybe the oil pump isn't circulating enough oil.

A factor of miles, engine hours, average speed, temperatures. It does not directly measure the oil though.A factor of miles, engine hours, average speed, temperatures. It does not directly measure the oil though.
