Properties of Light - variables?
Hi I know that a property of light is electromagnetic radiation, but what are the variables that equal the speed of light? and what do the variables stand for?

Re: Properties of Light - variables?
If you are asking what is the variable that is the speed of light that would be c which is 3E8. If you asking the formula it would be c= wavelength(meters) times frequency in Hz.

Hi! Can you clarify what you variables you want defined? As for what is the variable for the speed of light, the variable is c which is 3.00 * 10^8 m/s and it is found in the
lambda = h*c/E equation
lambda= wavelength
h= Planck's constant which is 6.626*10^-34 J*S
and E is the total energy emitted of a photon which is not to be confused with the work function which is energy needed to remove an electron. This is in joules!
