The Cerenkov effect is not a violation of [[special relativity]], which states that no particle can travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum. The speed of light in materials is less than the speed of light in vacuum, and particles may travel at velocities greater than the speed of light in a particular medium but slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
