Nothing. the speed of light is a scalar constant. Space can't expand however without creating energy. If it is true that energy can not be created or destroyed, then space can't change, expand or contract.

How is it possible that the expansion of the universe is faster than the speed of light?

Relativity theory establishes a speed limit for objects travelling through space - but the expansion of the universe is the expansion of space. There is no speed limit for that expansion.


The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?

The speed of light is a constant in a vacuum and does not change, regardless of the medium it passes through.


What term means passing of a fluid through spaces?

Perfusion - passing of a fluid through space


How the expansion of space could cause a red shift in the light from distant galaxies?

The expansion of space causes a redshift in the light from distant galaxies due to the stretching of wavelengths as the universe expands. As light travels through expanding space, its wavelength increases, shifting it toward the red end of the spectrum. This phenomenon, known as cosmological redshift, occurs because the space between galaxies is increasing, leading to longer wavelengths by the time the light reaches us. Consequently, more distant galaxies appear redder, providing evidence for the expansion of the universe.


This is a space rock that is passing through the atmosphere.?

this is called a meteor.


Can light travel through space?

Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.


How does the expansion of the universe create redshifts?

As the universe expands, the space between galaxies also expands, causing their light to stretch out as it travels through this expanding space. This stretching of light waves results in redshift, where the wavelength of light increases, shifting it towards the red end of the spectrum.


What happen when light passes through a regular lens?

1. - It is refracted (bent) relative to the source. 2. - The spectrum is separated, the amount depending on the thickness and curvature. 3. - A small part of the light is reflected off the lens, not passing through it. 4. - Assuming a 'perfect' regular (convex) lens, all light passing through the lens focuses at a single point in space, (focal point). 5. - Any image passing through the lens is reversed, equidistant from the focal point.


This is a space rock that is passing through the atmosphere?

The space rock passing through the atmosphere is likely a meteoroid. As it enters Earth's atmosphere, it heats up due to friction, creating a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If the rock survives the entry and lands on Earth, it becomes a meteorite.


What is a increase in wavelength of light due to space expanding?

The increase in wavelength of light due to the expansion of space is known as redshift. As the universe expands, light traveling through space stretches, resulting in longer wavelengths. This phenomenon is most commonly observed in distant galaxies, where the light shifts toward the red end of the spectrum, indicating that these galaxies are moving away from us. Redshift is a key piece of evidence for the Big Bang theory and the ongoing expansion of the universe.


How does light travel through a window?

Light travels through two things: either empty space, or space which contains transparent materials. Some paterials are only partially transparent or translucent, in which case some light does travel through it, but not all the light will get through.


Can light travel through space?

Yes, light can travel through space because it does not need a medium to propagate.
