What else can I help you with?
When light travels from air to glass the wave speed decreases B'coz glass is denser than air.?
Correct.
Energy that travels at speed of light?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or gamma rays, travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This energy is characterized by its wave-like behavior and carries energy in the form of photons.
What kind of wave does light travel in?
I have the straight answer from the Internet and my science teacher that light travels in the motion of waves.
Is sound the fastest speed possible?
No!...Speed of light is the fastest speed possible, but now a new particle called lepton is more faster than light...rather it is has the fastest speed discovered till now.It travels in the same wave as light travels i.e tranverse waves.
What kind of Wave is an electromagnetic wave how fast does it travel?
An electromagnetic wave is a wave with electric component and magnetic component. In free space (vacuum), an electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of light, that is 3x10^8 m/s. In fact, light is also an electromagnetic wave.
When light travels from air to glass the wave speed decreases B'coz glass is denser than air.?
Correct.
Which characteristic of a light wave must increase as the light wave passes from glass into air?
The wavelength of the light wave must increase as it passes from glass into air. This is because light travels faster in air than in glass, causing the wavelength to stretch out as the wave exits the denser medium.
What is the speed of a light wave that travels at 900000000m in 3 seconds?
The speed of the light wave is 300,000,000 meters per second.
What happens to the wavelength of light when a ray of light enters a glass slab from air?
when the light enters into another medium, its speed changes. Hence there will be the change in the wavelength. Speed = frequency times wavelength Since the speed of light is less is glass compare to the air, its wave length will be less in glass.
Energy that travels at speed of light?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or gamma rays, travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This energy is characterized by its wave-like behavior and carries energy in the form of photons.
What happens to the frequency and speed of an electromagnetic wave as it passes from air into glass?
As the electromagnetic wave passes from air into glass, the frequency remains the same, but the speed decreases. This is due to the change in the medium's refractive index, which causes the wave to slow down as it travels through the denser medium of glass.
What is the speed at which a wave travels?
The speed at which a wave travels depends on the medium through which it is traveling. In general, the speed of a wave is determined by the frequency and wavelength of the wave, according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.
How does a window reflect light?
A window reflects light because light, which is a wave, travels slower in glass than in air. It travels at about 2/3 the speed in glass as it does in air. Also light travels at about 3/4 the speed in water as it does in air and so that is the reason light reflects off the surface of water. The greater the difference in speed between the two mediums, the more light is reflected at the surface boundary. An amazing experiment is to submerge glass in a transparent liquid that has the same "index of refraction". The 'index of refraction" of a substance is simply the measure of the speed with which light travels in the substance. If you submerge the glass, and the speed of light is the same in the liquid as in the glass, the glass seems to disappear. The reason is seems to disappear is because light is no longer reflected off the surface of the glass, and if you think about it, that is the only reason that you can see a glass in the first place.
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of?
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of time.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
The speed at which a wave travels is called its velocity. This velocity is typically determined by the frequency and wavelength of the wave.
Is it correct to say that in every case any radio wave travels faster than any sound wave?
Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.
Does color of a laser affects the velocity of the light wave projected by a laser?
No. Light travels at the same speed no matter what.
