What is the speed of the image if an object is fixed in front of a plane mirror and the mirror is moved with a speed v?
For a flat mirror (front surface) with the object having an angle of incidence with the mirror of 45 degrees, and the image measured perpendicular to the object, the speed is v. A side note, using a laser pointer, a spinning mirror, a meter stick, a ruler, and a sheet of paper, and measured, with a lab partner, the speed of light within 10%, in the space of a square meter. This was so many years ago, that the speed of light was much less than it is today.
What happens to the light wave after it stikes the mirror?
When a light wave strikes a mirror, it undergoes reflection, which means it bounces off the mirror's surface. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The mirror changes the direction of the light wave but does not change its speed or frequency.
How did a spinning octagonal mirror help michelson calculate the time that light took to make the round trip to the distact mountain?
He adjusted the mirror so that the beam of light would reflect back into his lens. As the mirror was spinning around (1/8 of rotation) it shot short burst of light off the mountain mirror and into the spinning octagonal mirror, helping him calculate speed of light at around 300,000 km/s.
What is the speed of light in zero gravity?
Gravity does not effect speed of light ,so velocity is constant. Even if it effect the effect is negligible. So in short answer is 3*108ms-1 -Thunder
How can a inclined plane change the effect of its speed?
An inclined plane can affect the speed of an object by decreasing it due to friction between the object and the surface of the inclined plane. The steeper the incline, the more the speed will be reduced. Additionally, the length of the inclined plane can influence the object's speed as it may take longer for the object to travel the length, thus affecting its overall speed.

What is frequency of rotating mirror in speed of light?
The frequency of a rotating mirror does not affect the speed of light. The speed of light remains constant at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, regardless of the frequency of the rotating mirror. The frequency of the mirror may affect how quickly or frequently light pulses are reflected, but it does not alter the speed of light itself.
How much faster does the speed of light travel than a plane?
This question really depends on what type of plane you mean, I will answer Commercial planes for everyday peopleThe speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles a second or 669600000 mph / 299,792,458 meters per second.A commercial plane like a 747 passenger plane that you might use to go on holiday travels at around 800mph. (top speed)669600000mph (speed of light) - 800mph (average plane speed) = 669599200.The speed light is roughly 669599200MPH faster.According to relativity, the speed of light is precisely the speed of light faster than a plane, to the observers in the plane. The above answer is only correct for an outside observer in a particular reference frame.
Why is light's speed the same after emerging through a glass pane?
the speed of light decreases when it enter the plane and when it comes out of the plane it the speed again increases as there i sdifference in th refractive index and the interface of the glass plane is parallel
If a plane is traveling at the speed of light and turns on its head ligths will the light be even with the plane?
A plane CAN'T travel at the speed of light.If a hypothetical super-spacecraft goes very close to the speed of light, and a beam of light is emitted from the spacecraft in the "forward" direction, the speed of the beam of light from the spacecraft would be measured to be the so-called "speed of light", i.e., 300 million meters per second. Note that the speed of this beam of light, as measured from Earth, would ALSO be 300 million meters per second. This seems weird, or even impossible, but it has been confirmed by the famous Michelson-Morley experiment, and explained by the Special Theory of Relativity.
What happens to the light wave after it stikes the mirror?

If a plane is traveling at the speed of light and you walk to the bathroom on that plane are you faster than the speed of light?
The answer is NO. The speed of light is constant in our space-time from all reference frames. This means that going faster than the speed of light is not possible. Within a moving reference "plane", you would still see light travel across the interior, travelling at the standard rate of 300,000 km/sec. For an observer outside the plane, the speed would still appear as that constant due to time dilation.(see related link)
If you could travel at the speed of light and you looked in a mirror would you see your reflection?
That would depend on your speed relative to the mirror. If you were holding it in front of you, yes. If it was stationary and you were passing it, no.

Does gas effect the speed of light?
Yes it does
What is the effect of refractive index on speed of MW?
Exactly the same as its effect on the speed of light, since light and MW are the same identical physical phenomenon.
When train is travell with speed of light nd we put a mirror in front of me then what will image formed?
An object such as a train simply CANNOT travel at the speed of light. You can investigate what happens when it moves close to the speed of light.
