What does the expansion of space do to light passing through it?

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.

What happens in diffraction?
Diffraction is the process of how a beam of light is spread out when passing through a narrow space or edge. There is usually interference between the wave forms.
Light energy passing through matter unaffected?
Light cannot pass though matter but matter is technically atoms, which are mostly space with a few, moving objects - electrons and the nucleus. For glass, the loss of light through the material occurs for all glass.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
What materials can light travel through faster than it travels through air?
Light travels fastest through space which has no air. Space is a vacuum which is the fastest way for light to travel.
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
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?
While passing through glass.
What term means passing of a fluid through spaces?
Perfusion - passing of a fluid through space
This is a space rock passing through the atmosphere?
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.

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.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
What parts of space can light waves travel through?
Light can travel through any parts of space, there is no part that it is excluded from.
