How Does Speed of light Remains Constant


How Does Speed of Light Remains Constant
vr = v1 + v2/(1 + v1v2/c2)
Here   vr  is called relative speed, v1 and v2 are the speeds of the objects
If we substitute v1 = c,              v2 = c in the above formula
vr = c + c/(1+c.c /c2)
vr = 2c/(1+1)
vr = 2c/2
vr = c
implies speed of light c is independent of the motion of the source or the observer so it is known as universal constant
