What is the speed of light while traveling 0 c?
The speed of light depends on the refractive index (optical density) of the medium through which it travels. It is not affected by temperature.
Will you gain mass while traveling at the speed of light?
mass is a fixed quantity
What would you see if you stepped on a scale while traveling at 86 percent the speed of light?
You would be much heavier than normal. The mass of any object increases as its speed goes up.
The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?
While passing through glass.
What is speed of light affected by?
The speed of light is defined as being through a 'VACUUM'. If it passes through any material object it will slow down. It will slow down on passing through air. It will come to a complete stop when it tries to pass through a brick wall; because you cannot see light on the other side of a brick wall. The defined speed is 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum. Given as an approximation as 3.0 x 10^(8) m/s in a vacuum, or 3,0 x 10(6) km/s. In words ' three million kilometres in one second'.

Albert Einstein theory of relativity?
E=mc2 is the formula but the theories were called:the general theory of relativity about mass traveling at or faster than the speed of light while accelerating positively or negativelythe special theory of relativity about mass traveling at the speed of light while holding a steady speedThe formula means:"Energy E equals mass m times the speed of light c squared"
Can light exceed its normal speed while refracting?
If you mean "normal speed" to be the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, then no. Anything that differs from light moving through a vacuum slows the light down to a certain extent.
What would you see if you stepped on a scale while traveling at 86 percent the speed of light?
You would be much heavier than normal. The mass of any object increases as its speed goes up.
The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?
While passing through glass.
How is it possible to be accelerating while traveling at a constant speed?
If you turn your vehicle in another direction, even at a constant speed, you will experience acceleration (sideways) because the vector direction has changed through the application of force.
When light travels through the air window and then air it slows down?
The speed of the light while it's in air ... on both sides of the window ...is greater than it is while it's in the glass.
If you were travelling at the speed of light and turned on a torch in your spaceship would you see a beam of light from the torch?
You can't travel at the speed of light. Accelerating a finite mass to lightspeed requires an infinite amount of energy.If you were traveling at nearly the speed of light, relativity says the beam of light from the torch would appear to you to be traveling just as fast as it would if you were standing still.Uh, it's a bit academic, but in reality there's nothing that says a mass can't travel faster than light. While it's true that a mass can't be accelerated to the speed of light from any lesser velocity, it doesn't rule out masses that might always have had a velocity greater than the speed of light.
How does the speed of light change in jello?
Light travels through different substances at different speeds. The speed will changeas it enters jello from something else, and again as it leaves jello and enters somethingelse. While the light is in the jello its speed is constant. A few on-line resources that wechecked gave that speed as roughly 217,400,000 meters per second. That's about73% of the speed of light in vacuum.

Is electricity as fast as light?
No; while the speed of light is a constant, the speed of electricity is dependant on many cofactors.
