Why does the laws of classical physics break down as you approach the speed of light?

At speeds near the speed of light, the formulae from the Theory of Relativity show that there are discrepancies with classical physics - for example, in adding velocities. These discprepancies have been verified by many experiments. In theory the discrepancies arise at any speed, but if the speed is much lower than the speed of light, the difference between classical physics and the more accurate Theory of Relativity is so insignificant that it can be ignored, and you can safely use the simpler formulae of classical physics.


What kind of experiment can be done for light?

You can do many, many experiments with the light. I'll just mention few categories:- Reflection of the light - Refraction of the light - Spectrum related experiments - Experiments that prove the wave nature of the light (interference) - Experiments that prove the particle nature of the light - Experiments that measure the speed of the light in space - if small scale, usually using interference etc... You may search on internet for specific experiments, by using the words of the categories mentioned upper, to narrow your search results.


Which scientist carried out experiments with light rays?

Newton did experiments using prisms to show that white light contained all colours of light.


Where can you get simple experiments related to light?

Well, i think ehow.com provides complete experiments, and maybe about light. Try to check it out.


Who discovered that blue light photons have more energy than red light photons?

Planck in his formula E = hf.This was measured by experimenters long before Planck. Einstein's paper on the photoelectric effect explained the observations, Planck later quantified it. Not sure who did the first experiments that discovered the effect.


Who where the scientist who have conducted experiments on the nature of light?

What is a scientific idea that has survived many experiments and observations without being proven false?

The idea that space contained a substance call "aether" which carried light. Michelson and Morley developed a device to measure Earth's motion through it. I was a classic failure, and continues to be.


How the interference takes place in light waves?

To see the interference paterns that light will create then put a light beam through a small grate of slit. This when light is behaving as a stream of particles
