The speed of light is different in different media; light travels more slowly in water than it does in air, for example.

How photon differ from an inertial particle?

In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the speed of light. A regular particle can ONLY move at speeds less than the speed of light.


What is the relationship between the speed of light in a medium, characterized by the parameters mu and epsilon, and how does it differ from the speed of light in a vacuum?

The speed of light in a medium is determined by its parameters mu and epsilon, which represent the medium's ability to conduct and store electric and magnetic fields. This speed is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum because the medium affects the propagation of light waves.


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.

How does the behavior of light passing through a medium differ from its behavior in a vacuum?

When light passes through a medium, such as air or water, it can be absorbed, scattered, or refracted, which can change its speed and direction. In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed and does not interact with any medium, so it does not experience these changes in behavior.
