... James Clerk Maxwell synthesized empirical formulas of electricity and magnetism into an electromagnetic theory. In 1865, he used his theory to show that light was an electromagnetic wave. In his theory, there was no provision for the speed of light to transform like mechanical speeds do in Newtoni ...

... Physicists call the speed of light in a vacuum c. It is approximately c ≈ 300, 000 km/sec This is fast enough to go around the earth more than seven times in one second!1 However, light moves slower when it goes through air, water, or other material. Light can also be slowed down by gravity of very ...
