Speed of light Earth increases becomes greater than the speed of light. In classical physics, light is described as a type of electromagnetic wave. The classical behaviour of the electromagnetic field is described by Maxwell's equations, which predict that the speed "c" with which electromagnetic waves (such as light) propagate through the vacuum is related to the distributed capacitance and inductance of the vacuum, otherwise respectively known as the electric constant "ε" and the magnetic constant "μ", by the equation In modern quantum physics, the electromagnetic field is described by the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED). In this theory, light is described by
Symbol table Symbol table In computer science, a symbol table is a data structure used by a language translator such as a compiler or interpreter, where each identifier (a.k.a. symbol) in a program's source code is associated with information relating to its declaration or appearance in the source. Symbol table stores the information related about the symbol. A symbol table may only exist in memory during the translation process, or it may be embedded in the output of the translation, such as in an ABI object file for later exploitation. For example, it might be used during an interactive debugging session, or
