In 1728, James Bradley deduced that starlight falling on the Earth should appear to come from a slight angle, which could be calculated by comparing the speed of the Earth in its orbit to the speed of light. This "aberration of light", as it is called, was observed to be about 1/200 of a degree. Bradley calculated the speed of light as about 298,000 km/s (186,000 mi/s).

Which recently discovered particle has velocity more than that of photon in light?
Tachyon
Who invented velocity?
the person who discovered velocity was newton. so you should look up newtons theory on velocity.
what is the velocity of light?
The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.
Which physicist discovered the escape velocity of an object?
Escape velocity is easily calculated from Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation.
Is velocity of light constant?
Yes according to most theories the velocity of light in a vacuum is constant. (In water and glass it is slower!)
Which recently discovered particle has velocity more than that of photon in light?
Tachyon
Who is discovered a velocity?
Issac newton discovered velocity.
Who discovered velocity of a wave?
Einstein
What is the velocity of light in meters?
the velocity of light is 300000000 m/s
Who invented velocity?
the person who discovered velocity was newton. so you should look up newtons theory on velocity.
Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?
Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'
Does Light have a speed or a velocity speed of light or velocity of light?
Light travels at the speed of light. There is no general velocity of light because velocity is a vector quantity, it also contains a direction and there is no preferred direction for light rays in general. Another answer: The speed of light has been calculated to be 186,000 miles per second.
What would be the velocity of ball which is thrown by the man who running at the speed equal to the velocity of light?
As velocity never exceeds the velocity of light.... so i hope a man running with the velocity of light will not be able to throw a ball with any velocity.......... we may get the maximum n minimum velocity with which that can be thrown mathematically that we may get it to be zero................
Is the velocity of a red light lower than the velocity of violet light?
No it justs refracts further
Is the velocity of a red light lower than the velocity of violet light a?
Not necessarily, but the frequencies are different.
Why velocity of current equal to velocity of light?
Because charge particles produces magnetic field which causes electromagnetic force that's why moving charges move with the velocity equal to the velocity of light.
what is the velocity of light?
The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.
