What happens to frequency does the speed of light ever change?
The speed of light IN A VACUUM is always the same. In substances other than the vacuum, the speed of light is usually slower than in a vacuum.
How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
Which property of light ray does not change in refraction?
The frequency of a light ray does not change when it undergoes refraction. The wavelength and speed of light can change, but the frequency remains constant. This is because frequency is a characteristic of the light source, not of the medium through which light is traveling.
What is the formula relating speed of light frequency and wavelength?
the speed of light equals the frequency multiplied by the wavelength.
How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
The speed of light in glass is the reciprocal of the refractive index of the glass or 1/(refractive index). Not all glass is the same: its refractive index can range from less than 1.5 for Pyrex (a borosilicate glass) to more than 1.9 for (impure) flint glass. This means the speed of light in glass can range between 0.52 and 0.68 of its speed in vacuum.
A red light wave and a blue light wave have similarities and differences what are the same wavelength frequency energy and speed?
wavelength frequency energy are different. speed should be the same.
Speed of red light and blue light in a vacuum?
In a vacuum the speed of red and blue light are the same as all light, 300,000,000m/s. Their frequency and wavelength will be different but the speed remains the same.
In what situation is the speed of waves of red light exactly equal to the speed of blue light?
speed of light is always the same, regardless of frequency/colour.
When light moves from one medium into another its speed?
Its speed changes but its frequency remains the same.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
You can use the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Given the speed of light (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) and the frequency of the light source, divide the speed of light by the frequency to determine the wavelength of the light.
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and can be characterized by their wavelength and frequency.
How does the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed change is the frequency of the waves increase?
As frequency increases, the wavelength decreases for waves traveling at the same speed. This relationship is defined by the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease to maintain a constant speed.
Why frequency does not change when light travels from one media to other?
When light travels from one media to another, its frequency remains the same because frequency is a fundamental property of the light wave itself and is determined by the source of the light. The speed and wavelength of light may change as it enters a new medium, but the frequency remains constant. This is described by the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength.
What can you say about the speed of differentcolors of light in the air?
they have the same velocity but have different wavelength and frequency
Does blue light have travel at a different frequency than red light in the same medium?
Yes. Blue light has a shorter wavelength, and therefore a higher frequency, than red light.

The speed of light IN A VACUUM is always the same. In substances other than the vacuum, the speed of light is usually slower than in a vacuum.
