Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?

The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.


Does the speed of light change in a vacuum?

No, not as long as the light stays in vacuum.No, it does not. That is where it has its maximum speed.


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.


What of a material indicates how much the speed of light in the materials changes as light passes through?

The property of a material that indicates how much the speed of light changes as it passes through is called the material's refractive index. This index is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced in a material compared to its speed in a vacuum. The higher the refractive index, the more the speed of light is reduced in that material.
