I had the impression that the Quran was a religious book, not a scientific book. Now, that doesn't mean that you can't find some scientific truth in it, but I suspect that the emphasis is more on spiritual topics, and that God has left such details as figuring out the speed of light to scientists.

1600s Galileo attempted to measure the speed of light using blank?
In 1600 Galileo attempted to measure the speed of light using lanterns and shutters
What is the speed of light using quartz as your medium?
approximately 2.06
Is there a tool for measuring the speed of light?
No, but the way that scientists measured the speed of light was having a group of scientists stand on two mountains within visibility, then one group flashes open a light or lantern and they count how long it takes to reach the other mountain using a stopwatch. Then they subtract human reaction time to the equation and do some simple equation using the time they counted to find the speed of light.
What is the formula for calculating depth when using sonar?
v=2d/t
Slow glass that reduces the speed of light?
Most forms of glass do not change the speed of light. Darker glass lets less light through it Glass at an angle to light may refract ( bend) light or glass may break light up into all the colours the light is made of rainbow / spectrum. The only way anyone has successfully stopped and restarted light is using magnetic beams

Do you have to convert distance to yard when calculating speed?
Speed can be expressed using any unit of distance and time. Eg. 1 yard per second = 2.0454 miles per hour.
What is the speed of light using quartz as your medium?
approximately 2.06
What can travel at the speed of light?
Nothing can travel at the speed of light, only light itself, the closest we have ever gotten to the speed of light is 99.9 %, we have accelerated particles at very very close to the speed of light using the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The only thing that can go faster than the speed of light, is Space.
How does a superhero travel at the speed of light?
A superhero travels at the speed of light by using their powers they obtained by birth, chemical reaction, or other reason.
How much faster is the speed of light than the speed of electricity without using superconducting materials eg in normal computers?
We generally consider that the force of an electric field moves at the speed of light. And electricity moves at the speed of light.
How do you calculate the amount of years it would take to travel using light years and the speed of light?
from the book
What is the speed of light through jello using a flash light?
A few on-line resources all cluster around roughly 217,400,000 meters per second.Note: The speed of light doesn't depend on where the light comes from.
What is formula for calculating range from pulse rate of radar?
Pulse rate is either set up by the operator or the equipment designer. Range of some detected object is determined by the speed of light and the distance of the object causing the return signal pulse, using the formula: distance= velocity of light multiplied by half the time delay for the return echo.
How long would it take to get to mars using conventional spacecrafts or If a spacecraft had light speed engines?
it would take apporximately 4.2 seconds, jduging the wind speed in space, if light speed technology did exist.
How do you measure the speed of light in jello using a laser?
You should try to check on sciencebuddies.org
How do you know how fast light travels?
Its speed has been measured accurately, using lasers.
