Relationship of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium where it will pass through?

Refractive index is the ratio of speeds.


If a solid mass travels at the speed of light and it passes through the suns ray to earth would it be seen?

A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.


When a ray of light passes from water to air speed increases?

Yes. The speed of light in water is approximately 2/3 the speed of light in air.


What is the speed of light and how long does it take light to pass from the Sun to Earth?

Speed=3x10^8 m/s Time=8.3168708 minutes


Can you feel time elapsing if you travel at the speed of light?

Of course. You feel completely normal no matter what speed you happen tobe traveling. If you pass other people and they measure you as you pass by,they're the ones who notice weird things. If you pass them at the speed of lightwhile they measure you, they find that your mass is infinite, your front-to-backthickness is zero, and your heart and your wristwatch have stopped.What's even morre weird than that ... if you measure the other people whileyou pass them, you find exactly the same things about them, althougheverybody feels completely normal.And, by the way, if they shine a flashlight at you as you pass, and you shine aflashlight at them, their light passes you at the speed of light, and your lightpasses them at the speed of light.


What property of light waves can be observed as light waves pass from one medium to another and change speed?

diffraction


Which is the minimum speed of light passes through?

Zero (0) light cannot pass through opaque materials.


If light waves change speed as they pass from one medium into another at an angle the light will be?

Refracting


Traveling at speed of light how much time will pass in 70 years on earth?

None. At the speed of light, time stops completely. It is impossible for anything with an invariant mass to move at the speed of light; only particles with no "rest mass" (such as photons) can do so.


What property of light waves pass from one medium to another and change speed?

Refraction.


Light waves change speed and directions when they pass from one transparent material into another This is called?

refraction


Does a propelled object continue increasing in speed infinitely in a vacuum?

For a start, it is not possible to propel it indefinitely. Where should the energy come from? On the other hand, there is a speed limit in the Universe, called the "speed of light". An object can approach the speed of light, but never quite reach it, much lass pass that speed.
