name some experiments that were conducted on it
If a laser beam is swept quickly across a distant object, the spot of light can move faster than "c", although the initial movement of the spot is delayed because of the time it takes light to get to the distant object at the speed "c".
Speed of light
If a laser beam is swept quickly across a distant object, the spot of light can move faster than "c", although the initial movement of the spot is delayed because of the time it takes light to get to the distant object at the speed "c"
who discovered that light travels faster than sound Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī define the 'speed of light' UNANSWERABLE the person who made the discovery, what is his profession? UNANSWERABLE what role does the speed of light play in physics? Invariance of the speed of light: In 1905 Einstein postulated that the speed at which light waves propagate in vacuum is independent both of the motion of the wave source and of the inertial frame of reference of the observer. what is its numerical value? UNANSWERABLE which unit is used to measure it? Since 1983, the metre has been defined in the International System of Units (SI) as the distance light travels in vacuum in of a second. who made the first attempt to measure it? Empedocles when? UNANSWERABLE

Speed of light [SEP] Faster-than-light observations and experiments
However, the only physical entities that are moving are the laser and its emitted light, which travels at the speed "c" from the laser to the various positions of the spot. Similarly, a shadow projected onto a distant object can be made to move faster than "c", after a delay in time. In neither case does any matter, energy, or information travel faster than light. The rate of change in the distance between two objects in a frame of reference with respect to which both are moving (their closing speed) may have a value in excess of "c". However, this does not represent the speed of any single object as measured in a single inertial frame.
