What is the acceleration of light?

In a dark room, I flick on the light switch. Light, traveling at the speed of light, goes from the bulb to the wall. I do not beleive it is possible for something to go from 0 to speed of light instantly. Therefore, the speed of light changed over time - acceleration! How long(short) does it take to go from 0 to speed of light? And is this acceleration constant?What is the acceleration of light?Light travelles at a constant speed in a vacume Therefor no acceleration%26quot; But Light has to get to this speed so what is the inital acceleration of lightWhat is the acceleration of light?If you Take lamda(the diameter of the mass of light particle) and multiply it by the Frequency square that the mass is moving =you have acceleration

What is the acceleration of light?The value of acceleration of a micromass particle as light is not constant duriong one oscillation.It is an Hyperbolic function.

What is the acceleration of light?Photon is a mathematicl construct of Energy.Hence it cannot be called a mass. Light is a mass particle. A photon describe the power density of light radiation.This is where there is confusion about the nature.

What is the acceleration of light?I don't think you quite understand. The light wasn't in existence before you flipped the switch. Then it was in existence, and moved at its velocity. It did not accelerate.What is the acceleration of light?i dont remember specifics, but light does accelerate and it will continue going until its source (i.e the light) can no longer provide power for it to expand. theres a lot of places online u can read up on this...What is the acceleration of light?there is no mass, only energy under wavelength. so no acceleration.What is the acceleration of light?Intensity of light doesn't depend on speed of light..... Light always travel with constant speed. The change in intensity you see is mostly due to warming up of coil in bulb.What is the acceleration of light?The scale at which photons are emitted isn't subject to newtonian physics.What is the acceleration of light?look at this...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_li…What is the acceleration of light?The reason you don't believe that light can go from 0 to 300,000 km/s in an instant is because you are applying your intuition as a human being on rules of motion for MASSLESS elementary particles.



Given that photons (aka light as particles) have zero mass, they don't have inertia to overcome like you and I or anything material that we are accustomed to (i.e. driving a car). So yeah, light goes from 0 to speed of light instantly! There is no acceleration. The speed is constant. BTW, this is a property of the vacuum space, not a property of photons (in other words, all zero mass particles travel at this speed, C, the speed of light in vacuum).What is the acceleration of light?Light travels at the speed of light in vacuum, which is a constant. Constant speed means no acceleration.What is the acceleration of light?Light does not behave like a physical object in this regard. It is energy and so it instantly travels at the highest velocity possible within that medium. (Light does travel more slowly through water and air than through a vacuum.)



On a different topic, you could figure out how long it takes for the light to be generated once the switch is flipped and the electricity heats the filament (or excites the gas in a fluorescent bulb) to generate the photons of light.What is the acceleration of light?0 m/s^2

lights speed is cte.
