the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second it takes the light from the sun takes 7 minuates and 59 seconds to reach earth if the sun explodes it wont be known until the light reaches the earth.

Political and cultural values are often separate true or false?

False. Political and cultural values are often interconnected and influence each other. Cultural values, beliefs, and norms can shape political ideologies and policies, while political decisions can also impact cultural practices and values within a society.


Should political science be value-free?

There is a disagreement in the philosophy of science as to whether values should play a role in science and, if so, to what degree. Firstly, it should be said that political science is not value free, and to make it so would largely be impossible due to the difficulty of separating facts from values in many political systems that are heavily loaded and understood by such values. Secondly, values can be useful when applied to goals we desire from using political science, and so having no values may be detrimental to its utility. Finally, I believe that, as a science, political science should still attempt to isolate values where possible and not use them where they are not important given how contentious and difficult to measure they are.


How can refraction make objects look?

Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to change direction. This change in direction can make objects appear distorted or bent when viewed through the refracting medium, such as a lens or water.


What impact did the strategy of the "long march through the institutions" have on shaping societal norms and values?

The strategy of the "long march through the institutions" had a significant impact on shaping societal norms and values by influencing the way institutions such as education, media, and government operate. This strategy aimed to infiltrate and influence these institutions to promote certain ideologies and beliefs, ultimately shaping the values and norms of society.


What role does the upper class bourgeoisie play in shaping societal norms and values?

The upper class bourgeoisie influences societal norms and values by setting trends, promoting certain lifestyles, and shaping cultural expectations through their wealth, status, and influence.

Can the speed of light be ligislated?

Sort of. The meter is currently defined to be exactly the distance that light, in a vacuum, travels in 1 / 299,792,458 of a second. The result of this is that the speed of light is DEFINED to be a certain value (299,792,458 meters / second); the meter is derived from the speed of light. Of course, you can't legislate to make the speed of light in a vacuum faster or slower; or rather, if you do, light won't care about such legislation. The legislation only affects the numeric values assigned to such a speed.


Why constant is used?

Constants are used in programming to store values that remain unchanged throughout the execution of the program. Constants help improve code readability, make maintenance easier, and prevent accidental changes to these values. It also allows developers to reuse these fixed values across different parts of the program.


Is it the speed of light or light speed?

Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s


Speed of light travels at minimum?

In general, light propagates at c, the speed of light (that is, 299,792,458m/s), however when travelling through a medium such as an optical fibre, this will decrease, but will still travel at a constant speed dependent upon values such as the materials permittivity and permeability. Light travels easiest through insulating mediums, and cannot travel far through conductors.


What is the value of absolute or relative refractive index?

The absolute refractive index is a measure of the speed of light in a medium compared to its speed in a vacuum, while the relative refractive index compares the speed of light between two different media. Both values help determine how light is bent or refracted as it passes through different materials.


What is the frequency of a photon with wavelength 565nm?

The frequency of a photon can be calculated using the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Plugging in the values for speed of light and wavelength, the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of 565nm is approximately 5.31 x 10^14 Hz.


Is it light speed or the speed of light?

speed of light I think well it sounds right:)


Which was the fastest the speed of light or the speed of sound?

speed of light


Is lightning faster than light or is it light?

Lightning can hit the Earth, or in some cases COME from the Earth and go up depending on local electric gradients. The flow of electrical charge causes light, but the speed of that flow is MUCH less than the speed of light. In comparable media, NOTHING can exceed [or even equal] the speed of light, as described in the Special Theory of Relativity. A mass will grow to enormous, mind boggling values as it approaches the speed of light, because of a term in the equation (1 - v/c) in the denominator which makes the value approach infinity as v/c approaches 1, so 1-1 = 0 and you approach dividing by zero. v takes values starting from zero almost up to c, the speed of light in a vacuum.


What is the frequency of red light which has a wavelength of 700 nm?

The frequency of red light with a wavelength of 700 nm can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Plugging in the values (speed of light = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s), we get a frequency of approximately 4.29 x 10^14 Hz.


How was the speed of light measured?

In light speed.


Light speed is a time or speed?

Perhaps coincidentally, the phrase "light speed" refers to a speed.It is a speed.
