When you have an interest in more signficant figures: 299,792,456 m/s. It was measured in 1983 using wavelengths of a certain light from an atom, and that is what we got stuck with.
When the light is less energetic than X-rays and is moving through something other than a hard vacuum.
When you are accelerating significantly, you can get all sorts of funny values.
When you measure the speed of light over a path involving significant mass, you get a "path speed" of less than c even if it is through a vacuum. (Shapiro time delay.)
Light travels through different types of matter at different speeds
What else can I help you with?
What is a statement that is not true about a white light?
White light is monochromatic light.
When you turn on a light or other electric appliance you close a circuit?
Yes, turning on a light or electric appliance completes a circuit by allowing current to flow from the power source, through the appliance, and back to the power source. This flow of electrons enables the appliance to function and produce light or perform its intended task.
When is the only time that light travels at the speed of light?
Light always travels at the speed of light, although that's a different number in different substances.
What do you understand by the statement a star is eight light years away from the earth?
The light from a star eight light years away will take eight years to reach Earth.
What is meant by the statement Light is the only thing we can see?
The statement "Light is the only thing we can see" means that our ability to perceive the world around us is dependent on light. Objects are visible to us because they either emit light or reflect light from a source, allowing our eyes to detect and interpret these signals. Without light, we would not be able to see anything, as vision relies on the interaction of light with our surroundings and our visual system.
Why is the statement the speed of light is 300 million not always correct?
The speed of light, or c, is a constant. The speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second IN A VACUUM. That's 670,616,629.2 miles per hour or 983,571,056 feet per second.
Why is the statement speed of light is 300 million miles per second is not always correct?
The statement "speed of light is 300 million miles per second" is not correct because the actual speed of light in a vacuum is about 186,282 miles per second, not 300 million. The confusion may arise from approximating the speed of light to a more easily understandable number but it is important to use the accurate value in scientific calculations and discussions.
Will the check engine light ALWAYS come on if the oxygen sensor is bad?
No not always,But it will correct problem 99% of the time. Brett
Why is the statement the speed of light is 300 milllon miles per sec not always correct?
The speed of light, which is about 300,000,000 m/s, can be affected by the material that it is travelling through. Mediums such as air, glass, and water can slow light down. For example, in water, light travels at a speed of about 200,249,000m/s; in ammonia gas, it travels at 221,200,000m/s; and in ethanol, it travels 220,400,000m/s.
Explain why the statement the speed of light is 3 million MS is not always correct?
I'm going to remark that "The speed of light is 3 million meters per second" is NEVER correct. The speed of light in vacuum ... within 0.07% ... is 3 hundredmillion meters per second. The speed is different in any material medium, but a speed of 3 million m/s would imply a medium with a refractive index of 100, and I'm pretty sure that no such material exists.
THE SUM OF the central angles of a circle depends on the measure of the radius?
Never. The radius of any central angle of one circle will ALWAYS be the same. And not only that ... To answer the question (or to correct the statement that was stated in the place where a question was to be expected): THE SUM of the central angles of a circle is always 360 degrees, whether the radius of the circle is 1 nanometer or 1 light-year.
What is a statement that is not true about a white light?
White light is monochromatic light.
During cold winter months the tire pressure monitoring light is always on how do you suspend it?
Make sure the tires have the correct pressure.
What is the correct abbreviation for light?
The correct abbreviation for "light" can be "lt" or "lit."
What is the correct spelling for light bulb or lite bulb?
The correct spelling is light bulb.Lite is not a word, but it is used as slang for "light version" in mobile apps.
Would you use lite or light when making a statement of we want to lite fireworks?
You would want to use the word light when making the statement "We want to light fireworks
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.
