Maxwell's equations predict that the speed of light in free space is:
A)an increasing function of frequency
B)a decreasing function of frequency
C)independent of frequency
D)a function of the distance from the source
E)a function of the size of the source

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Maxwell's equations, the speed of light in free space is independent of frequency. This means that light of all frequencies will travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
