I don't think the speed of light is carried by an energy. The light itself, however, possesses kinetic energy.

What is transfer of energy through space?
An electromagnetic wave is a oscillation through 2 fields, electrical and magnetic fields of the space the wave is travelling through. These oscillations are at right angles to each other. Electromagnetic waves are carried by miniscule particles of energy called photons, Light itself is one of the forms of electromagnetic waves and all EM waves travel at the speed of light 3x10^8 ms or 300 000 000 metres per second. Photons have 0 mass. Nothing with mass can truly have a higher velocity then the speed of light or EM radiation. As they are carried by photons they need no medium to travel through and can therefore travel through space/a vacuum.
What equation can be used to show why a microwave has high energy?
Energy of microwaves is related to wavelength (lambda) and the speed of light (C). Energy equals Planck's Constant (6.6x10^34 Joules*second) multiplied by the speed of light (3.0X10^8 meters/second) divided by wavelength.
What do all forms o energy have in common?
There are several types of energy. potential energy is something that has the potential to move, like a roller coster at the top of the slope. Kinetic energy is the energy of something in motion, like the roller coster while it is hurtling down. Everything has potential energy.
In science what does E and MC stand?
If you are referring to the famous equation, then E = Energy, M = Mass and C = speed of light.
What is the relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of radiant energy?
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
What are 3 other forms of energy?
Speed, Light, Sound
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.
Is matter and energy two forms of the same thing?
energy is matter moving at the speed of light (e=mc2)
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
Tell why sound which is a form of energy like light cannot travel at the speed of light?
Quite simply, the two things - being "a form of energy" and travelling at a speed of light - are completely unrelated. There are other forms of energy that don't travel at all, like potential energy.
Does heat and light have mass?
Heat and light are both forms of energy, so yes. If you divide the energy by the speed of light in a vacuum squared (all in the appropriate units), you will obtain the value for the mass-equivalent of that energy.
What is the correct definition of light energy?
Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means.Light energy can also be converted into other forms of energy. Interesting Light Energy Facts: Light travels at a speed of about 300,000 km/s.
Is the energy carried by a light particle related to its speed or wavelength?
Photo electric effect E = h * f Wher E is the energy of the phton, h is Planck's constant and F is the frequency. So energy depebds on frequency, but not on speed.
At what speed does all electromagnetic energy travel?
Electromagnetic energy travels at c, the speed of light. The speed of light, c, is 299,729,458m/s
How fast does light or radiant energy travel?
All forms of electromagnetic energy have the same speed in vacuum . . .299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.The speed is somewhat less in material media, and depends on the medium.
How do speed of different forms of light compare?
How many different forms of light do you have ? ? The speed of all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is the same, at least in vacuum.
What does radiation have to do with the speed of light?
All forms of electromagnetic radiation move from place to place at the speed of light.
