Speed of Light

Speed of light, abbreviated as c, in a vacuum, travels at a speed of exactly 299,792,458 meters per second, or about 300,000 kilometers per second, a speed which remains constant irrespective of the speed of the source of the light or of the observer.

 

Speed of Light formula
\(\large{ c =  \lambda \; f     }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ c }\) = speed of light	\(\large{\frac{ft}{sec}}\)	\(\large{\frac{m}{s}}\)
\(\large{ f }\) = frequency	\(\large{Hz}\)	\(\large{Hz}\)
\(\large{ \lambda }\)  (Greek symbol \lambda) = wavelength	\(\large{ft}\)	\(\large{m}\)
