What else can I help you with?
Can neutrinos travel faster than light?
No, neutrinos cannot travel faster than light.
How is Cherenkov radiation used to detect neutrinos in high-energy physics experiments?
Cherenkov radiation is used to detect neutrinos in high-energy physics experiments by observing the faint blue light emitted when neutrinos interact with water or ice. This light is produced when neutrinos travel faster than the speed of light in the medium, creating a cone of light that can be detected by specialized instruments.
How fast can a neutrino travel?
Neutrinos travel at approximately the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This makes them one of the fastest particles in the universe.
Which recently discovered particle has velocity more than that of photon in light?
The neutrino was recently discovered to have a velocity greater than that of light in a vacuum. This discovery was made in experiments such as OPERA where neutrinos were observed traveling faster than the speed of light, although those results were later retracted.
What light has the highest velocity in a vacuum a. red b. ultavilet c. violet d. blue e. green f. all travel at the same velocity?
f. all travel at the same velocity. In a vacuum, all colors of light travel at the same speed, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is known as the speed of light.
Can neutrinos travel faster than light?
No, neutrinos cannot travel faster than light.
Is there any particles whose velocity is greater than photon particles?
Possibly neutrinos are . . . scientists right now are thinking that neutrinos travel faster than light (photons)
What is the name of particles that travel faster than light?
neutrinos
What have we found that travels closest to the speed of light?
Particles such as neutrinos and photons have been observed traveling very close to the speed of light. Neutrinos are known to have tiny but non-zero mass, while photons are massless particles that always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
What is faster than a neutrino?
A photon. Neutrinos have mass and therefore must travel at less than the speed of light. Photons of light travel at the speed of light.
Do neutrinos travel at the speed of light?
No, neutrinos have been shown to have a small non-zero mass. They can't get to c (the speed of light in a vacuum). The only thing a supernova can eject at the speed of light is photons. Update: Recently an experiment has measured neutrinos traveling above the speed of light. An explanation is yet to be offered.

How much more faster does a neutrino go than the speed of light?
Some recent experiments (2010 and 2011) suggested that neutrinos might be massless and travel very slightly faster than the speed of light (0.003 %). However, these are at odds with measurements that show neutrinos and light photons travelling at roughly the same speed. Further experiments are planned to test how photons and neutrinos are affected by the medium they traverse. If neutrinos do have mass, by the theory of relativity they cannot reach or exceed light speed.
What are some interesting scientific discoveries of 2011?
scientists found that neutrinos (subatomic particles) travel faster than the speed of light
Is the velocity of a red light lower than the velocity of violet light a?
Not necessarily, but the frequencies are different.
Which recently discovered particle has velocity more than that of photon in light?
The neutrino was recently discovered to have a velocity greater than that of light in a vacuum. This discovery was made in experiments such as OPERA where neutrinos were observed traveling faster than the speed of light, although those results were later retracted.
