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.
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
When do light waves change speed?
speed of light is different for materials of different refractive index and also higher the refractive index lesser will be speed of light in that medium. so if light travels from rarer to denser medium (with respect to refractive index) then light waves will change their speed
What is the change in speed called when light travels through different mediums?
It is simply called a change in speed.
Why does a pencil seem crooked when its put in water?
A pencil is seem to be croaked when put in water because,REFRACTIONoccurs.REFRACTION is a property of light which can be defined as this=the speed of light is different in different medium, it is slow in dense medium.It is fastest in vaccum.This shows that the light reaches faster in air and little slow in water this is the reason that the pencil seems little croaked in water
Where do the light waves change speed from a pencil?
ACTUALLY ! Its when the pencil enters the water .
Is the speed of light in air and in water is the same is the best explanation why the pencil appears broken at the boundary air and water?
If the speed of light were the same in air and water, then the pencil would appearstraight, NOT broken. The beginning of the simplest explanation of why it doesappear broken is the fact that the speed of light is different in air and in water,and that causes light to bend when goes from one into the other.
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.
Why does your abs light and brake light keep coming on 2001 Chevy Tahoe?
you most likely have to change the front hubs with the speed sensors i have tried everything else
How the appearance of the pencil and the change in speed of the light waves relate?
They are related by Hamda+A its also related by transferring waves to the cup thats fill with water so yeah like it?
What is the velocity of car 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.
How does the speed of light change as light change as light moves from a distant star toward earth in the vacuum of space?
As long as it remains in the vacuum in the vacuum, the speed of the light doesn't change at all.
Why constant is used?
Constant is the speed of light and as the speed of light cannot change it is 'constant'
Why use constants?
Constant is the speed of light and as the speed of light cannot change it is 'constant'
Does the speed of light change in a vacuum?
No, not as long as the light stays in vacuum.No, it does not. That is where it has its maximum speed.
What causes light to change directions?
The change in speed of light changes the direction.
What is the bending of light due to change in its speed?
It is the refraction of light.
