Speed Of Light
|
speed of light (c) : The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space , precisely 299,792,458 m/s.
Note 1: The preceding figure is precise because by international agreement the meter is now defined in terms of the speed of light?Create.
Note 2: The speed of an electromagnetic wave , e.g. , light, is equal to the product of the wavelength and the frequency .
Note 3: In any physical medium , the speed of light is lower than in free space. Since the frequency is not changed, the wavelength is also decreased. [After FAA]
