What else can I help you with?
What is it that travels through an electric circuit at nearly the speed of light?
the wave front of electric current. the electrons themselves move much slower but they keep pushing electrons ahead of them on resulting in a wavefront that moves at almost the speed of light.
Is it light speed or the speed of light?
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
No, it is not possible to travel at the speed of light in water. Light travels at a slower speed in water compared to its speed in a vacuum, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second. The speed of light in water is approximately 225,000 kilometers per second.
Is the speed of sound as speed of light?
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
What is the average speed of electricity?
There are three different speeds here.The average speed of electrons - whether there is a current or not - is a significant fraction of the speed of light. That speed depends on the temperature. (The average VELOCITY of course is zero if there is no current, since as many electrons will go in one direction as in another.) The drift velocity (the average velocity) of the electrons is a small fraction of a millimeter per second. The exact value depends on the current, the cross section, and the material. The speed at which a signal can propagate in copper is about 2/3 of the speed of light in a vacuum - so, about 200,000 km/second. It is this speed that makes your light react quickly when you activate a switch.
Is electricity as fast as light?
No, electricity does not travel at the speed of light. The speed at which electricity travels depends on the medium it is passing through. In most cases, electricity travels at a fraction of the speed of light.
How long would it take to get to the sun by spacecraft?
Time = 150Gm/c/n= 500secsxn where n is the fraction of the speed of light. If youb travel at 1/1000 of the speed of light then 500kseconds.
Could we travel faster than the speed of light Why or why not?
No. Just to travel AT the speed of light would require more energy than the entire universe contains. So all objects move at some fraction of light speed, never 1 nor greater.
How fast do electric currents move?
Yes, typically about 2/3 of the speed of light in a vacuum - that is, about 200,000 km/sec. Note that the drift speed of the electrons is only a fraction of a millimeter per second, and the random speed of electrons is faster, but still much slower than the speed of the CURRENT.Yes, typically about 2/3 of the speed of light in a vacuum - that is, about 200,000 km/sec.

How fast woulld a space shuttle have to go to get to a light year in a year?
To go one light year in one year, you would have to be moving at the speed of light. No spacecraft can travel at the speed of light, if our theories about physics are even near to being correct. And no chemical-fuel rocket will ever approach even a fraction of one percent of light speed; THAT is certain, even if nothing else is.
How fast does the spacecraft travel per second in the film 'Interstellar'?
In the film 'Interstellar', the spacecraft called Endurance travels at a significant fraction of the speed of light, specifically around 90% of the speed of light, which is approximately 270,000 kilometers per second.
What is it that travels through an electric circuit at nearly the speed of light?
the wave front of electric current. the electrons themselves move much slower but they keep pushing electrons ahead of them on resulting in a wavefront that moves at almost the speed of light.
Is it the speed of light or light speed?
Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s
Is it light speed or the speed of light?
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)
Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?
speed of light
How was the speed of light measured?
In light speed.
Light speed is a time or speed?
Perhaps coincidentally, the phrase "light speed" refers to a speed.It is a speed.
