Chapter 29 Relativity Q.1CQ<\/strong>
\nSome distant galaxies are moving away from us at speeds greater than 0.5c. What is the speed of the light received on Earth from these galaxies? Explain.
\nSolution:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAccording to second postulate of special theory of relativity the speed of light (c) is same in all inertial frames of references in vacuum. So light from these galaxies received on the earth moves with the speed as is true for all light in a vacuum.<\/p>\n
