The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.

Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of a light wave projected by the laser?

Colors are determined by the wavelengths but all wavelengths travel at the same speed. So no, colors do not affect the velocity of light.


How would you describe your motion in terms of velocity and acceleration as you ride in a car down the street come to a red light wait for the green light and then start off again?

As the car moves down the street, the velocity is positive. As it comes to a red light and stops, the velocity decreases to zero. Waiting at the red light, the acceleration is zero. When the light turns green and the car accelerates, the velocity increases from zero to a positive value, and the acceleration is positive.


The velocity of light was first measured by?

The velocity of light was first measured by Ole Rømer, a Danish astronomer, in 1676. He used observations of the moons of Jupiter to deduce the finite speed of light.


What is the equation for relativistic mass in terms of velocity and the speed of light?

The equation for relativistic mass in terms of velocity (v) and the speed of light (c) is: m m0 / (1 - v2/c2) where m is the relativistic mass, m0 is the rest mass, v is the velocity, and c is the speed of light.


What is the velocity change when the ray of light passes from air to glass?

When a photon goes say from air to water, it slows down according to; n=c/v where n is refractive index of water c is velocity of light in air v is velocity of light in water It is stated that the frequency of the photon doesn't change when the photon enters the water. Only the wavelength changes.

What would be the velocity of ball which is thrown by the man who running at the speed equal to the velocity of light?

As velocity never exceeds the velocity of light.... so i hope a man running with the velocity of light will not be able to throw a ball with any velocity.......... we may get the maximum n minimum velocity with which that can be thrown mathematically that we may get it to be zero................


Is the velocity of a red light lower than the velocity of violet light a?

Not necessarily, but the frequencies are different.


Is the velocity of a red light lower than the velocity of violet light?

No it justs refracts further


Does Light have a speed or a velocity speed of light or velocity of light?

Light travels at the speed of light. There is no general velocity of light because velocity is a vector quantity, it also contains a direction and there is no preferred direction for light rays in general. Another answer: The speed of light has been calculated to be 186,000 miles per second.


Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?

The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).


Why velocity of current equal to velocity of light?

Because charge particles produces magnetic field which causes electromagnetic force that's why moving charges move with the velocity equal to the velocity of light.


Does the air have the larges velocity of light?

The velocity of light is highest in a vaccum; slightly slower in air, and a LOT slower in water.


What is the velocity of car light?

The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.


Velocity of light greatest?

in a vacuum


Can phase velocity exceed the speed of light?

Yes, phase velocity can exceed the speed of light in certain mediums. This is known as superluminal phase velocity. However, this does not violate the principle of causality or the speed of light in vacuum as it is the group velocity, rather than the phase velocity, that carries the information in a wave.
