Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Other than that, it would travel fastest in a very dilute (low-pressure, and therefore low-density) gas.
Nothing (vacuum), followed by gas.
No matter at all: Vacuum
Gas.
vaccccuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm
Manipulated variable.Responding variable.controlled . variable.
Gravitational lensing does not depend on a the state of matter of light, rather it is an expression of the geometric curvature of space/time due to mass.
Because it a change of state of matter in this case of the the matter in question is gas.
The state of matter can affect the way light interacts with it. In solids, light typically gets absorbed or reflected, leading to the appearance of color. In liquids, light can be absorbed and scattered, which can affect its transparency. In gases, light can be transmitted easily, leading to high transparency. Additionally, the refractive index of a material also depends on its state of matter, which affects the speed and direction of light.
is gas, liquid, or plasmaBut I need only one.plasma
Matter in any state can be propelled as fast as you want.Answer:Within the relativistic Universe matter can go as fast as the speed of light (with great difficulty). Excluding tachyons which (if they exist) the only matter observed to go at the speed of light are photons. Photons do not fall into the normal solid, liquid or gas states of matter as they have both wave and particle characteristics and no rest mass.For normal matter, the problems with acceleration require that the lightest particles will travel fastest for any amount of acceleration energy. This would call for the dissolution of the matter into individual atoms (into a gas) and the acceleration of the individual atoms.In this roundabout manner gases can be accelerated the most so the can travel the fastest.
They travel fastest through air.
Molecules move faster the more energy they have ie the higher temperature they are. If you are talking about the 3 classical states, then the molecules will travel fastest as a gas
Liquid State
the sate of matter would be gases
in solid state of matter
Light in its fastest state in a vacuum only can travel at 3.0*10^8km/s but as it enters the earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere is full of dust particles and layers of gases which can effect the speed of light slightly, in the earths atmosphere light travels at 2.89*10^8 km/s .
Light is NOT a state of matter - its photons, pure energy.
No, it is not.
Solid
Light waves are a little more complicated than other waves, such as sound waves, water waves, etc. This is because unlike other types of waves, such as sound waves, water waves, etc., light waves do not need a medium to travel through. Light waves can travel through a vacuum. A medium can be in either of the three states of matter, that is, it is either in the solid state of matter (as most materials are) or in the liquid state of matter (such as water) or in the gaseous state of matter (such as air). A light wave consists of energy in the form of an electric filed and a magnetic field. The electric and magnetic fields vibrate at right angles (that is, at angles which measure 90 degrees) to the direction in which the light wave is moving. Light has both the electric field and the magnetic field. It is because of this reason that light is also referred to as electromagnetic radiation.
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
