Even if we incorrectly assume each would interact w/ rods/cones in the same manner, visible light photons are in the 1-10 eV range for their energy, where as cosmic rays range from 1Gev to 10^8 TeV!

    @@tryfergoodra552the speed at which things can travel varies based on what medium they travel through. Sound waves are a great example. Sound waves are effectively the vibration/displacement of matter that we pick up via our eardrums. They move outward from the source more or less exactly like a ripple in a pond. Because it travels through particles moving, the closer together the particles are the faster the displacement can travel. Hence, sound travels faster through solid objects than through water, air, etc. this is also why there is no sound in space, there is no matter to displace Light behaves quite differently, and takes knowledge of quantum physics/mechanics to truly understand, not something I’m gonna even bother trying in a yt comment section lol Regardless, I hope I helped a bit

    @@Vi-Six Quick correction: "The speed of light is a constant, but varies" this is a contradiction. It is either constant or it isn't. In this case, the speed of light c is a constant but the *group* velocity of light in different media can be vary. Personally I don't like mixing up the term "speed of light" with the speed of group velocity since it fundamentally suggests c is changing when it isn't. It certainly does APPEAR that light is changing speed but it isn't, only group velocity. If you define speed of light as group velocity then it's technically not wrong but just misleading in my opinion.

    Fun Fact: the difference between *the speed of light in a vacuum* and *the speed of light inside a material* (i.e. *not* in a vacuum) Is the basis for the Index of Refraction of that material. How much light slows down in a material describes how much it bends the light. Bonus Fun Fact: the "negative index of refraction" metamaterials do *not* make light go faster than light in a vacuum, nor is their index of refeaction actually negative, its just between 0 and 1. It's just a naming convention. These materials bend light opposite the angle that a non-metamaterial does, they do not "speed up" the light, that wouldn't make any sense.

    So, through anything other than a vacuum, some particles with mass can travel faster than photons?

  • @daniellewis3330

    @daniellewis3330

    3 ай бұрын

    ​@ghostlyfieldclub2930 yes. It is fascinating, and it comes from wave/particle duality. I'll try to summarize, but you can absolutely read more about it, even the Wikipedia article is really helpful. Okay, so the lower mass something is, the more like a wave it becomes. Photons behave the most like waves. Particles with mass, like electrons, also behave like waves, but to an ever-so-slightly-less degree. Waves propagate through a medium at what's called the *phase velocity*. Photons are strictly limited to that, but charged particles can move past the atoms of a dielectric material (a material that can be polarized), and excite that polarization faster than the phase velocity. When atoms are excited, they relax by releasing photons. But since the excitation is faster than the phase velocity, the resulting photons that are released lag behind the exciting charged particle, creating something similar to a 'sonic boom' of light, which is the blue that we see. Photons are limited to the phase velocity, so they can't create the same asymmetric excitation that the charged particles can. So in this very specific instance, where light behaves almost too much like a wave, charged particles can go faster than photons. In a vacuum, the limitation is back to being accelerating mass, and photons win by having no mass. Side note: things like this are also why some materials are shiny, but that's from something called the 'plasma frequency', and it's a whole other story.

    It's important to make the distinction that the particles accelerated by the reacter aren't breaking the theoretical speed limit of the universe, i.e., the speed of light in a vacuum. The speed of light in water is ~.75c (c is the universal constant for speed of light in a vacuum). So, particles can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium without violating the Theory of Relativity.

    By Einstein's ToSR and ToGR, light has a constant speed, always equal to c. However, many wave interference effects take place in a reradiating medium, such that the velocity of light's PHASE becomes lower. In other words, a phase shift at each reradiator (atom) layer, that at larger scale looks like slower light with shorter wavelength. Highschool physics most often just set it as a given that light slows down, but without explaining the mechanics behind it.

    To all the people saying light moves slower in water: it does not. because of the medium, the light simply has to take a more "crooked" path, making it take longer. light speed is constant regardless of medium. EDIT: Since I keep getting comments correcting me, and can't find my other comment down in the replies, here's some additional information: I'm obviously simplifying in my original comment, but it's essentially the same end result. Basically what happens is, when light goes through a medium, the reason it takes longer (longer path), isn't because it tries to "avoid" particles or molecules as it may seem in my original comment, but rather, it's disturbed because the light keeps getting absorbed and re-emitted by the atoms in the medium, making the path way longer. When a particle moves faster than light can to complete this process (distance becomes easier to clear for the particle than light), then a shockwave occours in the electromagnetic field due to it's inability to re-adjust in time, causing the emission of blue light in this case

    No. Cherenkov radiation is not created by objects moving faster than light speed. It's created by the electric field moving through a medium at a certain velocity of propagation. If the electric field moves through the medium faster than the medium can emit light, a charge is built up and released in the form of Cherenkov radiation. It has more to do with how fast an atom produces the photoelectric effect and not really anything to do with the speed of light.

    @@Nidvard The behavior of the electromagnetic field can be resolved into four different parts of the variation in space and time: electrostatic fields, static magnetic fields, varying electric fields, and varying magnetic fields. The first two are produced by charges and currents, which are then combined into the electromagnetic field tensor in the presence of both a distribution of velocities of charges and currents. The behavior of electric and magnetic fields, both as separate entities and as a collective whole, are governed by Maxwell’s equations. This behavior of the electric field as defined by Maxwell's equations is what I was referring to. The electric field becomes out of phase with the emitted light wave and builds a charge that creates Cherenkov radiation. The electric field moves at a fraction of the speed of light as denoted by the velocity of propagation. Also, I didn't say anything about the visible light spectrum. Or the magnetic field as I'm referring specifically to the electric field and its charge. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any more questions.

The particles in water are bit faster than 225.000 km/sec and because of the difference, you can see the blue light as a result of an echo.

    Blue-shifted light can actually be any color. The reason we call it that is because blue light is higher-frequency. If visible light from something coming towards us is higher-frequency than it should be due to its motion then it has been shifted closer to being blue, or blue-shifted, and visible light that is lower-frequency than it should be has been shifted closer to red, or red-shifted. You could just as easily call it violet-shifting and have it be arguably more accurate. In other words, if an object should only be glowing in the infrared but it's moving quickly towards us and it appears to be red as a result, the light was still blue-shifted. Likewise, if a violet object is moving away from us and appears blue as a result, the light was still red-shifted.

    Nothing (mass-less or massed particles…) can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. However, in other mediums (such as water) , some particles can potentially move faster than light would go - IN THAT MEDIUM. For instance, while in water, light would instantly slow down to say, 75% of its normal speed, but there are other particles that DON’T SLOW DOWN as much and end up moving faster than light does - in that medium. Whenever that happens, a blue or violet glow occurs. Credit:IAEA
