| The ''speed of light'' in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_space vacuum] is exactly 299,792,458 Metres per second|m/s (about 186,282.397 miles per second). The speed of light depends upon the [[medium]] in which it is [[traveling]], and the [[speed]] will be lower in a [[transparent]] medium. Although commonly called the "velocity of light", technically the word ''[[velocity]]'' is a [[vector]] [[quantity]], having both [[magnitude]] and direction. ''Speed'' refers only to the [[magnitude]] of the velocity vector. This fixed definition of the speed of light is a result of the modern attempt, in [[physics]], to define the basic [[unit]] of length in terms of the speed of light, rather than defining the speed of light in terms of a length. | | The ''speed of light'' in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_space vacuum] is exactly 299,792,458 Metres per second|m/s (about 186,282.397 miles per second).
