Does light get faster when it moves?
In a vacuum, light travels at a constat speed. It won't get faster or slower over time. In other substances (e.g., in water) light moves at a speed determined by the characteristics of the substance. Here, it won't get slower or faster with time, either.
What front moves through area faster?
the fornt of Pizza
How does the density of a medium affect the speed of a wave?
The greater the density, the faster the wave moves. Sound (a wave) travels faster in steel than in air. Steel has the higher density.
What are 4 facts about SOUND?
In a vacuum such as space there is complete silence because there are no molecules to carry the sound.When traveling through water, sound moves around four times faster than when it travels through air.The loudest natural sounds ever made on Earth are probably gigantic volcanic eruptions , such as the explosions of the island of Krakatoa.The scientific study of sound waves is known as acoustics.
What are the two major motions of Earth as it travels through space?
earth moves through space two major ways:rotation and revolution -jerrold robinson-
Is the air that travels under the plane's wing is moving faster?
No. The air that travels over the wing moves faster.
Which sound travels faster the birdschirping or the whales siging explain how you decided?
A whale's song travels faster than a bird's chirp. This is because a whale's song travels through water, where sound moves much faster than it does in air.
Do sound waves travel fast?
Depends on what they are traveling through- the denser the substance, the faster sound moves. It travels faster through water than through air. In air, the greater the air pressure, the faster it moves (denser air). The lower the temperature, faster the speed (cold air is dense). At sea level, 20 degrees Celsius, sound travels through air at 1126.547 ft/second- or about 768.095 mph

Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Is the speed of sound in cork greater than speed of sound in water?
No. The denser the material, the faster sound moves through it.
Which travels fast light or krypton?
Light. Nothing moves faster than light
Sound travels faster in what?
Atoms move fastest in gases, then liquids, then solids. Also, atoms move faster in higher temperatures than in lower temperatures.
Why is the light blurrer as light moves further?
Light is bluer as it moves farther is because blue travels faster than the other colors in the visible spectrum.
Which planet moves around the sun faster?
Mercury.
Which front moves through an area faster?
cold fronts
What front moves through area faster?
the fornt of Pizza
