I know things like water, glass and diamond slow light down but I was wondering about something like this.
If you shine directed light (like a laser) at a moving object will the distance be a constant or variable with the time being constant? So would that be changing the speed of light?
I will reply to any questions about the theory.

Changing the speed of light?

In the moving frame (i.e. the frame of the object) the speed of light is still the same. It will see the light as having a frequency shift.

Yeah, I did a bit of research and I found out about it changing the frequency, Thankyou
