  • Speed of Light in Vacuum: UV & Infrared Explained
    Light travels at the same speed in a vacuum, regardless of its frequency (and therefore, whether it's in the ultraviolet, infrared, or any other part of the electromagnetic spectrum). This speed is approximately:

    * 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s)

    This is often rounded to:

    * 3 x 10^8 m/s

    It's important to note that this is the speed of light in a vacuum. The speed of light can change when it passes through different mediums like air, water, or glass.
