Can light travel through space?

Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.


What is the source of light for all items in space?

Stars (of which our sun is one) are the only sources of light in space. Planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc. all simply reflect starlight.


What can travel through space and in all directions?

Light.


What is the source of all light in outer space?

The source of light in outer space varies. Light can be reflected off from the stars, moons, comets, asteroids and planets.


What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?

All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.


Why do you space out vegetables or plants in a garden?

you space the plants out so the plant can get all the light and minerals it needs to grow


Which object in space produces rather than reflects light?

All stars produce light rather than reflecting light.


Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?

Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.


As you all know that light travels in a straight way but how light bends at the cornor?

Light always travels in a straight line with respect to space-time. If it appears to the observer that the light beam has bent it can only be concluded that space-time is bent.


What is the velocity of light in space compared to that in a denser medium?

The speed of light and all other electromagnetic wavelengths in vacuum (empty space) is higher than in any other medium.


Which process occurs when light is emitted in all directions?

This process is called light diffusion, where light is scattered in all directions upon emission. It results in a more uniform distribution of light throughout a space.


What are the properties of isotropic space and how do they affect the behavior of light within it?

Isotropic space has the same properties in all directions. This means that light travels at the same speed and behaves the same way regardless of its direction. In isotropic space, light rays travel in straight lines and do not change direction unless they encounter a medium with a different refractive index. This uniformity in all directions allows for predictable behavior of light within isotropic space.
