When you are refering to gamma radiation, or ultra-blue photon's you're referring to wavelenght. Inherently in the equation is a frequency based on some arbitrary value of 'c'..
It would appear, nonetheless, that changing the speed of light could have an adverse impact on optics, in that the relative index of refraction would be changed. However, according to Snell's law it is the ratio of the velocities of an incident waveform and the velocity of the waveform transmitted through a different medium (part of the incident waveform being reflected). What evidence is there that the relative index of refraction wouldn't be the same regardless of 'c'? We know that the wave frequencies of both incident and transmitted waveforms are identical, but their wavelengths change. Does this mean that if 'c' itself changes, that the relative index of refraction needs to change somehow?
If that is not so, why would Adam be blind if the speed of light (and associated frequency was higher)? Have you gone through the math yourself?
Furthermore, I see no issue with regards to functionality of diffraction with respect to the speed of light (frequency plays no part in it). Constructive and destructive interference also do not seem to be affected by differing frequencies (that behavior of light is entirely predicated on the wavelength of the light. When one examines polarization of light, it pertains to transverse electric vector viewed along the direction of the waveform propagation - polarization by reflection, refraction, selective absorption or scattering - so again frequency doesn't come into play.
Ah ha! You'll state that the frequency of light will affect Rayleigh Scattering (why the sky is blue). The closer the frequency of of the light wave is to the natural frequency of the electron of the predominant gas in the atmosphere (nitrogen), the greater the amplitude of vibration and the greater the scattering of the light wave. Thus the components of light having shorter wavelengths are scattered moreso than those with longer wavelengths. It has been shown that this scattering is proportional to the inverse of lambda to the fourth power. Even so, it appears that light is scattered according to wavelength, it actually occurs as a property of incident light (frequency) and interspersed atom's natural electon resonance (frequency). In accordance with Setterfields postulation, the fundemental resonant frequency of an atom's electrons is proportional to 'c'. Basicly I don't see a problem. Back to your Evolution pamphlets.
Assuming a fixed speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related:
frequency = c / (wavelength)Now, it's true that changing c, say by slowing it down, will change the frequency without changing the wavelength. But that leaves your light with a modified energy. The energy of a photon is
Energy = (Planck's constant) * c / (wavelength)Everything I said about the problems Setterfield gets into still applies, although he plays with Planck's constant (no longer a constant in CDK), mass, the gravitational force, and several other "constants." It's all in vain, so far as I can tell.or
Energy = (Planck's constant) * frequency
It would appear, nonetheless, that changing the speed of light could have an adverse impact on optics, in that the relative index of refraction would be changed. However, according to Snell's law it is the ratio of the velocities of an incident waveform and the velocity of the waveform transmitted through a different medium (part of the incident waveform being reflected).
You're still on the wrong track. It isn't the index of refraction, it's the energy of the photons and the games CDK has to play to pretend that everything still comes out the same. It turns out that the per-photon changes are a wash, but the sun is cooking its fuel off like mad. That means that there are vastly more photons. Why does't Adam cook? They get red-shifted--this is standard CDK doctrine; it means they're very long-wave--because there's far, far less mass in the solar atoms fusing to produce them. However, if they're red-shifted, then Adam is blind. Etc. etc. as I explained earlier.
