What else can I help you with?
Can light travel through a vacuum, and if so, how does it behave in the absence of a medium?
Yes, light can travel through a vacuum. In the absence of a medium, light behaves as an electromagnetic wave, moving at a constant speed of about 186,282 miles per second.
What did albert einstein say about light?
Albert Einstein proposed that the speed of light is constant in a vacuum and that light can behave as both a particle and a wave, known as wave-particle duality. He also introduced the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of time, space, and gravity.
What is photon characteristics?
Under the photon theory of light, a photon is a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, have a constant speed of light to all observers, at the vacuum speed of light (more commonly just called the speed of light) of c = 2.998 x 108 m/s.
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
What is the propagation direction of light in a vacuum?
The propagation direction of light in a vacuum is straight and constant.

The speed of light indicates how fast light can travel in a vacuum?
Yes ... in a vacuum.
Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.

Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
What happens when light passes through vacuum?
it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
Does light travel at its slowest speed when passing through a vacuum?
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
What is the propagation direction of light in a vacuum?
The propagation direction of light in a vacuum is straight and constant.
Why is the speed of light limited in a vacuum?
The speed of light is not limited in a vacuum - the speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. But that is what Einstein called the "Cosmic Speed Limit" - nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, or even quite asfast.
How does the speed of light change as light change as light moves from a distant star toward earth in the vacuum of space?
As long as it remains in the vacuum in the vacuum, the speed of the light doesn't change at all.
What travels at light speed besides engines?
Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.
