Why is infrared light faster than ultraviolet light?
That would be a very difficult "why" to explain, because it doesn't. All light travels at the same speed in the same medium. In vacuum, it's the speed we call "The Speed of Light". Shockingly, it's the same as the speed of radio, TV, radiant heat, X-rays, gamma rays, WiFi, and microwaves.
Does light travel at low speeds?
Normally, the answer to that kind of question would depend on what you call "low".In the case of light, however, probably nobody would call it a 'low' speed, becauseit's physically impossible for anything in creation to travel faster than light in a vacuum. It is possible for things to travel faster than light does in other media, but it's not exactly common, and it's still very much on the "fast" end of the scale.
What do you call it when light the speed of light changes as it passes through different meduims?
Diffraction.
How do you understand the speed of light in human terms?
The speed of light is so incredibly fast that it is difficult to express it in human terms. But here are some comparisons. If you could run at the speed of light, you would be able to run around the world seven times in a single second. If you could run at the speed of light, you could run from one time zone to another in the blink of an eye. You would be able to see ten sunsets in the same evening! When you are talking on an international phone call, you can say something on the phone. Your call will go up into space to a communications satellite 23,000 miles into space, and back down. And you hardly notice the delay!
What do you call a particle of light with zero mass which carries a quantum of energy?
I call it a 'photon'.By the way, the photon has zero rest mass, but when it travels at the speed of light ...which it always does ... it has some mass.
Can light go faster then the speed of light?
Since light is made of light, whatever speed it goes at is what we call the speed of light. So we'll always see light moving at exactly the speed of light, at least in that particular medium.
how do i get faster internet speed ?
Call or search online for IVC Telecom and ask for internet services.

Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?
Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.
Who broke the speed of sound in a jet?
We call them sonic booms. There are jets can fly faster than sound speed.

Is there a vehicle that is faster than the speed of sound?
Yes there is plane. we call them ultrasonic planes.

What does lightweight mean in Call of Duty?
It allows you to sprint at a faster speed then people who do not have the perk equipped.
It is said that nothing can go faster than the speed of light but does space itself go faster than the speed of light?
that law is meant for matter and other forms of energy. space itself is a dimension like time, and does not actually move. matter moves through space but space does not move. it expands if that's what you meant and it does so because of something they call dark energy. there is also dark matter which they say is responsible for gravity as i understand it; and dark flow which is responsible for all the galaxies in the universe seeming to "flow" to one point as astronomers have observed.
What do you call the proportionality constant between the velocity of light and the distance of a galaxy from earth?
First of all . . . it's not the speed of light. It's the relationship between the galaxy's distanceand the speed with which it's receding from us.The farther from us a galaxy is, the faster it appears to be receding.The proportionality constant is named after the astronomer who measured it. It's the Hubble Constant.
Is it possible to transport matter at light speed if so would it be considered teleportation?
It's not possible to transport matter at light speed, and you can call it anything you want to.
