What type of speed is light?
Light is a type of wave; it is not a type of speed.
How does the speed of a photon compare with the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
Light can be considered as a wave, or as a particle. As a particle, the particles are called photons. As a wave, light is an electromagnetic wave. In either case, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 300,000 km/sec.
Why does light have a speed?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and, like all waves, it has a speed.
Energy that travels at speed of light?
That can be light, or some other electromagnetic wave (light is an electromagnetic wave), or gravitational waves.
What is the the speed at which a wave travel through a medium?
the true answer is light speed
Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
How do you calculate the frequency of light given its wavelength?
The speed of light = the frequency X wave length.. therefore:- Frequency = The speed of light (m/s) _______________ wave Length (m) Where the speed of light : 2.9979 x 10^8 (m/s)
What is the wave speed of vissible light?
"Wave speed" is meaningless. Do you mean wavelength? That's roughly 400-700 nm.
What is the speed of any electromagnetic wave?
In a vacuum, any electromagnetic wave will move at the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second.
How does the speed of a light or sound wave be changed?
,,,l;.
Can a wave travel faster than the speed of light?
No
Does speed of light depend on wave or particle nature?
No.
