Why does the speed of light increases with increase in temperature?

It's my opinion that time stop's. I base this on the event horizon of a black hole. It might not stop for the object but it might stop to us. I could be an object keeps mass length time but not in our physical demension/universe. Alternate answer: Approaching the speed of light; 1) Your time slows down (relatively), 2) Your mass increases and 3) Your lenght shortens (relatively).

The faster it goes relative to you, the more it shrinks in the direction it's moving.
The "rocket" part and the "speed of light" part are just window dressing, to stimulate
people who don't realize how astonishing the basic fact is without them.

∙ 10y agoThe mass of any object increases when it moves. It doesn't have to be moving
anywhere near the speed of light. It just has to be moving.
The rest of the story is that when the object is moving, it gets shorter (thinner)
along the direction it's moving, and its wristwatch and its heartbeat run slower.
I'm not sure anyone can tell you "why", but there's no doubt that these things
really happen. They've been obseved and measured in thousands of experiments
during the past hundred years or so.

∙ 6y agoThe speed of light, c is constant in all reference frames and is roughly equal to 3.00x108 meters per second. In the context of Einstein's relativity, the c2 functions more as a unit conversion factor than a constant. As such, it is squared as a result of dimensional analysis - energy is measured in joules, or kg m2 s-2, so adding the c2 ensures that the relationship between energy and mass is dimensionally consistent. ~ WikiHow.

What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What is the effect on the speed of light when temperatures rise in the medium?
When temperature rises, the density of the medium changes. Speed of light through a medium is inversely proportional to the density of medium. So when the temperature increases, the density decreases and the speed of light in that medium increases. Note that this is the indirect effect of temperature. If light is travelling through vaccuum , then the temperature will have no effect on the speed of light.
Does the energy and speed of water increase as molecules get hotter?
i dont know about energy,but the speed of water increases as the density of water increases with rising temperature..
How does air temperature impact the speed of sound?
The speed of sound increases by approx 0.6 metres/second for every Celsius degree increase in temperature.
When the temperature of a medium increases the speed of sound decreases true or false?
No it is not true. When the temperature of the medium increases the speed of sound in that medium increases.
Does the speed of the particles of the matter increase as the temperature of matter increases?
the speed just increases as more temperature molecules try to get far and thus they start vibrating by harshal satish patil.
Does the speed of a wave increases as a wavelength increase?
the frequenzy increases, the speed of light is constant
What happens to the speed of sound if the temperature of the medium increases?
Speed of sound increase when temperature increases.
What increase as the average energy of the motion of the particles of matter increase?
the speed increases

What happens to the speed of sound due to increase in temperature of the air?
The average speed of sound increases by approx 0.6 metres/second for an increase in temperature of each degree Celsius.

Is it true that the elasticity and temperature of a medium affect sound propagation?
as temperature increases kinetic energy increases and speed of sound increases , when elasticity modulus increase rigidity of material increases and speed of sound also increases dr ehab hegazy doctor of physics ehabhegazy99@yahoo.com
Does wave speed increase as gravity increases?
yes,wave speed will increase as gravity increases.
It is possible to increase the speed of sound to the speed of light by increasing temperature or any other way?
no
