The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the factors that can change the velocity of light in a vacuum, let's analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the nature of light in a vacuum**: - Light travels at a constant speed in a vacuum, which is approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) meters per second. This speed is denoted as \(c\). 2. **Analyzing the options**: - **Frequency**: The frequency of light is related to its energy and is defined as the number of oscillations per second. Changing the frequency does not affect the speed of light in a vacuum. - **Amplitude**: The amplitude of light relates to its intensity or brightness but does not influence its speed in a vacuum. - **Wavelength**: The wavelength of light is inversely related to its frequency (as given by the equation \(c = \lambda f\)). However, in a vacuum, the speed of light remains constant regardless of changes in wavelength. - **None of these**: Since none of the factors mentioned (frequency, amplitude, wavelength) can change the speed of light in a vacuum, this option seems to be the most appropriate. 3. **Conclusion**: - The velocity of light in a vacuum cannot be changed by altering frequency, amplitude, or wavelength. Therefore, the correct answer is **none of these**. ### Final Answer: The velocity of light in vacuum can be changed by changing **none of these**.
