What else can I help you with?
Is it true that gamma rays travel with constant velocity?
Yes. Gamma Rays are photons (like visible light, just at another part of the electromagnetic spectrum). They travel with constant velocity at the speed of light (only in a vacuum). Although the original speed of the gamma ray varies.
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.
Is the velocity of X-rays constant?
Yes, all xrays travel at the speed of light.
X-rays travel with the velocity of?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, and therefore travel at the speed of light. About 300,000 km/sec.
What is the typical velocity of gamma rays?
The value obtained is (2.983+/-0.015)×1010 centimeters per second.
When light rays enter a medium at an angle they?
undergo refraction, where the speed and direction of the light rays change due to the change in the medium's optical density. This bending of light rays is due to a change in the velocity of light as it travels from one medium to another.
What is the speed of gamma rays in air?
Gamma rays travel at the speed of light in air, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
Why is speed of light greater in vacuum?
Since there are essentially no particles in a vacuum to get in the light rays way. Thus less disturbance.
Is the bending of light rays a reflection?
No, the bending of light rays is not reflection. It is called refraction, which occurs when light passes through different mediums and changes speed, causing the light rays to bend. Reflection involves the bouncing back of light rays off a surface.
Why do gamma rays travel at the speed of light?
Gamma rays travel at the speed of light because both light and gamma rays are variants of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation.
What effect does the material in which light rays travel on the rays?
It changes the speed of the rays
How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?
They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.
