Re: Speed of Light
I don't believe so, nothing we know so far can travel faster than the speed of light. At least in the context of this course nothing travels faster than the speed of light.

Re: Speed of Light
To add a note to the previous comments, it's beneficial to acknowledge that the formula "c=lambda*frequency" is only applicable to photons because only light can travel at that speed. You shouldn't apply that formula to particles that aren't photons.

Re: Speed of Light
For the contents of this class, nothing is faster than the speed of light so it's a good reference point to use when checking answers. If anything is going faster than 3*10^8, you should double check your work.

Re: Speed of Light
If the particle has mass, it canNOT be faster than the speed of light. I believe lavelle said that in lecture.

Re: Speed of Light
If a particle or object has mass, I don’t think it can be faster than the speed of light.

Re: Speed of Light
Nothing is faster than the speed of light. There is a theory that only particles with a zero rest mass may travel at the speed of light.
