Speed of light

The speed at which the light travels in a vacuum is unbiased for both the source and inertial frame of reference of the observer. This was postulated by the physicist, Albert Einstein, by observing the theory of electromagnetism of Maxwell. Also, there was no evidence for the luminiferous aether, that is, the medium for the propagation of light where the electromagnetic field exists.

7) The equation E
mc? illustrates that
a) energy can be converted into mass
d) Matter can be converted into energy
b) rest mass and energy are equivalent
e) b and d are correct
c) travelling at the speed of light converts matter into energy

Fission and fusion are naturally occurring processes, but they can also be started artificially to create energy for human uses.
