Final answer:

When the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, its length perceived by a stationary observer approaches infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, its length perceived by a stationary observer approaches infinity. In other words, as the speed of an object moving with respect to a stationary observer gets closer to the speed of light, the length of the object appears to increase. This phenomenon is described by Einstein's theory of special relativity.
