The behavior of matter can constantly amaze people, especially when extreme conditions are involved. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln describes what happens when a charged particle travels through a transparent material faster than light travels through that same material. When that happens, blue and violet light is emitted. This light is called Cerenkov light. This video tells you everything you need to know.
