What else can I help you with?
Do all em eaves travel at the same speed?
No, not all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.
Do ultraviolet waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum?
Ultraviolet and visible light waves all travel at the same speed whenever they're all traveling through the same material.
Is speed of light is same in all optic media?
No, the speed of light is not the same in all optical media. It changes depending on the medium through which light is traveling, such as air, water, or glass. The speed of light is slower in denser media compared to a vacuum, where it travels at its maximum speed.
What is the speed of light at 30 degrees?
That would depend on the medium which the light is traveling through.
Does a photon obey the rules of something traveling at the speed of light?
Obeying PhotonsPhotons by definition travel at the speed of light. They are unaffected by mass dilation since they have no mass, but are affected by time dilation: a photon could conceivably travel "forever" from our point of view since no time would pass from a photon's reference frame. So yes, they follow the rules along with everything else.
How fast does light travels through water?
The speed of light is a universal constant through a vacuum meaning it is traveling through zero resistance and it travels in a straight line. If you do an experiment and send a photon through water(pure H^2O) a set distance of lets say 1 meter the photon will travel to the end point slower than in the vacuum of space. Think about it light is effected by gravity, when it passes near the earths it changes direction towards the earth there is so much stuff in water that this happens to light at frequent rates, so the light takes longer to get to the end point but its actual travel speed is the same as in a vacuum. Think about it this way 2 people are both running at 8 miles an hour. Each person has the same start point and the same end point . the distance to the end point is 1mile. person A travels in a straight line. person B zig zags. You see although both are traveling at the same speed person A gets there faster. if the pressure and density of a liquid is identical than the travel speed of light from start to finish is the same in all experiments but regardless the final distance take much more time than in a vacuum.

Is it true that Light travel through all transparent media at the same speed?
No, light does not travel at the same speed through all transparent media. The speed of light can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through. It typically travels slower through materials like glass or water compared to its speed in a vacuum.
How does the speed of a photon compare with the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
Light can be considered as a wave, or as a particle. As a particle, the particles are called photons. As a wave, light is an electromagnetic wave. In either case, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 300,000 km/sec.
Space is a vacuum and continuous bombard of bodies in space happens all the time producing light and sound. Light travels through a vacuum but what about sound?
Sound is mechanical energy. It is created in a number of ways, but they are all mechanical in nature. Something (a mass or some material) must move. The mechanical energy of sound is carried by the medium through which it is traveling. The mechanical energy is actually transferred into the medium through which it is going to travel. As such, sound cannot travel through the "nothing" that is space. Light is electromagnetic energy. It's like radio waves, but higher in frequency. It is a moving electric and magnetic field, both, and at the same time and at right angles from one another. It is affected by the medium through which it is traveling, but not by a vacuum. It is unaffected by a vacuum. Light and other forms of electromagnetic energy blow through the vacuum of space like there was nothing there.
Does speed of light increase as the wavelength of a light wave increase?
No. All wavelengths of light, and all other forms of electromagnetic waves too, all travelat the same speed, just as long as they remain traveling through the same stuff.
How would a photon and particle of light travel path differ as it traveled through the different layers of the Sun?
A photon is a particle of light, so they would travel the same path. As a photon travels through the different layers of the Sun, it may experience absorption, scattering, and re-emission by the particles in those layers. The process of absorption and re-emission can cause the photon's path to become randomized.

What type of light travels the fastest?
In a vacuum all wavelengths of light travel at the same speed, c. In other mediums the speed of light is dependent on the refractive index of that material; v=c/n where v is the speed through the medium and n is the refractive index. The refractive index if different for different materials and can have fairly complex dependence on the wavelength of light. The fastest type of light is therefore dependent on the medium through which it is travelling.
Which light has the ACCURATE speed?
ANY light traveling through the same medium (stuff) has the same speed.
