Viewing a response to: @irelandscape/journey-through-the-understanding-of-particle-physics-three
I must appreciate your contribution. Indeed I benefited from your scientific article. I have a contrary view which I stand to be corrected if wrong. You wrote >Through experimentation it was proven that the speed of light is actually constant irrespective of the motion of the observers. This definitely proved that the electromagnetic field does not need an underlying medium to exist. From my knowledge in Engineering, EM waves and Transmission line, the speed of light is not constant. It varies from one medium to the other, the speed of light in a vacuum is different from the speed of light in water and is also different in glass

Thanks for your precision @ikchris. You are correct that the speed of an electromagnetic wave in different mediums is not the same. In general when we refer to the speed of light, we refer to the speed of light in a vacuum which is constant. I believe physicists prefer to use the term "universal speed limit" *c* to describe this constant.
