What travels at light speed besides engines?
Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.
What is travel time from sun to earth?
Light takes about 8 minutes to travel from Earth to the sun. The sun is about 93 million miles away, so it would take about 177 years to get to the sun in a car traveling at 60 miles per hour, and about 21.5 years to get to the sun in an airplane traveling at 500 miles per hour. (These are just comparisons; cars and airplanes don't travel in outer space.)
What is 123.23 light years in earth years?
If you are asking how long it would take to travel the distance of 123.23 light years, then that would depend on how fast you are traveling. Because a light year is a measure of distance not time.
Is the average distance from earth to the sun a light-year?
No. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 8 light-minutes.It takes light 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth, in other words.The distance that light can travel in one year is one light-year.
How fast would you have to travel in order to reach a star that is 50 light years away from Earth when you are 40 years older than you were when you left earth?
You would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light in order to do this. And, theoretically speaking, this would be impossible to do.However, if you were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, you would need to be travelling 1.25x the speed of light (which is about 3.75 x 108 m/s2).
Which are the non relativistic particles?
A non-relativistic particle is any particle not traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. This is not a property of particular type of particle; any particle may in general travel at any speed (below the speed of light). An exception are particles which are massless such as photons and gluons, these MUST travel at the speed of light.
Why gamma rays travel at the speed of light?
Because they are made up of photons, which have no rest mass. Having no rest mass, they are the only particle that is capable of traveling at the speed of light per the lorentz transformation.
Why does the light from the sun take so long to reach earth when the light is traveling so fast?
light takes approximately 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. even though it is traveling extremely fast, the earth is about 93million miles away from the sun, so if you think about it 8 minutes is pretty quick
What law explains dual nature of light?
The wave-particle duality theory. This explains why sometimes light appears to travel as a wave, and why sometimes it appears to travel as a particle.
How does light travel from space to earth?
Light is a particle called a foton that is fired of by a star and then continue's to travel in the direction it was fired in for many ages until it reaches something it collides with. it can be that this particle reaches earth or your eye in witch case you see it
What are two different ways light can travel?
As a particle or as a wave.
How long would it take for a spacecraft to travel to a star located 40 light-years away from Earth?
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 light-years away from Earth.
What is the process that transfers the suns energy from particle to particle?
The process that transfers the Sun's energy from particle to particle is called radiation. In this process, energy is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light and heat, which travel through the vacuum of space and are absorbed by particles in the Sun's atmosphere and eventually reach Earth.
What mediums can transverse waves travel through?
Transverse waves can travel through mediums such as solids, liquids, and gases. Examples include electromagnetic waves (such as light) traveling through air, water waves, and seismic waves traveling through the Earth's crust.
Light to travel from sun to earth?
It takes approximatly 7minutes to travel from sun to earth the sun light.
How does a light wave travel?
well,it shines. it travels about 8 mins, ie., 3*10^8 m/s(through vaccum) from sun to earth. it does not need a medium to travel. light exhibit both wave nature and particle nature.
At what speed, compared to the time kept on Earth, is there a physical slowing of time when you travel at near-light speeds?
When traveling at near-light speeds, time slows down compared to time on Earth. This phenomenon is known as time dilation.
