There isn't any. The skinniest trace of light, so weak that the human eye can't

detect it, and the mightiest torrent of light from an exploding star, all travel at

the same speed, as long as the comparison is made in the same material.

Likewise, light with the lowest frequency/longest wavelength and light with the

highest frequency/shortest wavelength ... the properties that really determine the

energy carried by the light ... all have the same speed, as long as the comparison

is made in the same material.

Refraction occurs when light enters a medium with a different refractive index (eg. air - glass) the different density of the material causes the speed of light to decrease causing a change in direction.

This occurs with other waves also, not just light.

E=mc2

Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy a mass would be equivalent to, if it were all suddenly turned into energy. It says that to find the energy, you multiply the mass by the square of the speed of light, this number being about 300,000,000 meters per second.

The most famous equation in the history of humanity, E = mc*2, says that "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." In other words, explains PBS Nova, energy and mass are interchangeable terms.

What is the relationship between matter and energy?

Energy and matter are 100% the same thing, but in different forms. In GAMMA RAY BURSTS ( The deaths of supermassive stars (RARE) also called a hypernova), energy is converted into matter and antimatter (Atoms with opposite charges of NORMAL matter). When matter and antimatter are fused, both (Antimatter is also a form of matter) are turned into energy. E=mc2 shows us how to find out how much energy something that is matter will turn into if it is transformed into energy. Mass of the matter x the speed of light x the speed of lightThe E stands for the energy and mc2 stands for mass of the matter x the speed of light x the speed of light.Wierd but true!


What is Einsteins matter energy equivalence?

E-mc^2. Energy is related to matter by the speed of light squared.


What is the relationship between the speed of a reaction and the rate of products forming?

It is same thing but speed of reaction also can be measured by rate if disappearance of reactants.


How energy is directly proportional to frequency?

Maxwell Plank found a direct relationship between the energy of a photon and its freq. This relationship can be expressed as E=h*f, where E is energy, h is Plank's constant and f is frequency. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck\'s_constant wtf -.-


How the photo electrons are emitted?

A photon is a bundle of electromagnetic energy. They move constantly at the speed of light in a free space, as they are the most basic unit of light. They are emitted from a atomic, molecular, or nuclear transition to a lower energy level.

What is the math term mc2?

Einstein proposed a formula describing the relationship between mass and energy - it is e=mc2 where e is energy, m is mass and c is the speed of light, so the amount of energy (in juoles) is equal to the mass (in Kilograms) multiplied by the speed of light (in metres per second), all multiplied again by the speed of light.


Which statement best describes the concept of Einstein equation E mc2?

That mass and energy are interchangeable substances. Energy = mass * speed of light squared Mass = energy/speed of light squared A direct mathematical relationship with the speed of light as a constant.


What is the relationship between temperature energy and mass?

Temperature is a measure of how much energy an object has. Einstein's famous equation states the relationship your asking about; E=mc2. That is, the amount of energy an object has is proportional to its mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.


What is the relationship between the energy in light and the frequency of light?

What is the relationship between time and space?

The relationship between time and space is, r=ct or space = the speed of light times time.Time t = r/c or time is space divided by the speed of light.Space r is a real number as time t and cthe speed of light.


What is the trem for the relationship between the speed of light and the measurements of time and space?

Time and space are related by the speed of light space r=ct where t is time and c is the speed of light.


What is the relationship between wave length and energy on the electromagnetic spectrum?

The relationship between electromagnetic energy (photon energy) and wavelength is determined by two constants - the speed of light and Planck's constant. Photon energy (in Joules) is equal to the speed of light (in metres per second) multiplied by Plancks constant (in Joule-seconds) divided by the wavelength (in metres). E = hc/wavelength where: E is photon energy h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10-34 Js c is the speed of light = 2.998 x 108 m/s This relationship shows that short wavelengths (e.g. X-rays) have high photon energies while long wavelengths (e.g. Radio waves) have low photon energies.


Speed of light squared?

That is used as a conversion factor between mass and energy.


What is the difference between speed and light?

Speed is how fast something moves. Light is a form of energy carried by massless photons, these photons move at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed that anything in the universe can travel.
