Constant speed of light?
What is the proof that the speed of light is constant?
I'm stuck on this task and need your help. I don't really know where to start.
Hello folks, I have a physics test in nine days, and we don't have any physics until then. The nuclide map shows how Rn221, for example, undergoes alpha and beta decay. Now, in the test, I'm going to look at how to set up decay series. The AI can't explain it to me properly either….
Hello, I am looking for an electrical circuit to automatically switch on our mirror heating for a limited time when voltage is applied (switching on the mirror lighting via a flush-mounted switch, not a button). So the light is switched on and at the same time a relay switches the mirror heating on for a…
Good evening, I was driving on a highway earlier and I'm sure the speed limit was 130, otherwise 100, and I drove at a maximum of 120. Suddenly I see a black vehicle driving in front of me and it had a flashing light (small circle, dot) on the back of the window (top center)…
That's true, isn't it? And if the acceleration decreases, meaning the car slows down and accelerates, then the frictional force is greater, right? Or what if the speed increases but the acceleration decreases?
Hello, Could someone help me with task 2b)? I originally thought that the trolley would only have kinetic energy at point B, and then potential and kinetic energy at point C, so my original calculation went like this: 0.5 • m • vb^2 = m • g • h + 0.5 • m • vc^2…
Hello NRG62,
what we call the speed of light is actually a Speed (engl. speed), a speedAmount. Speed in the narrower physical sense (cf. velocity) is a Vector size, a size with direction.
However, it is not a tempo like any other, but rather in basic relationships between physical variables (not other are Natural Laws), namely in MAXWELL’s basic equations of electrodynamics.
to show that the speed is constant, you only have to measure it at two different times.
more interesting is that the speed invariant is.

Can only comfort… sometimes ask me if what we observe here in a nothingness in the universe can be generalized.
As always in physics, corresponding experiments are considered proof.
There are some of them in terms of speed of light.
