The speed of light is a constant, so that only holds true when a valid Energy and Mass are entered that are appropriately proportional according to E=mc^2. It does work for random Energy and Mass values. You wouldn't solve for c anyway. You would be solving for E or m. Duh!

In the case of matter-antimatter it is valid.

The speed of light is only constant when moving through non changing space, if light moves from say water into a vacum then its speed increase.

With increase of density of medium comes decrease of velocity of light. "c" however refers to the velocity of light in a vacuum.

Indeed it does, but what Trigger said was:

Quote:

Which is only half a truth, the speed of light changes according to the medium it travels through, but c is a constant.

I'd hate not being able to choose when to take them. Some days I need time to digest information before being tested.
