The Michelson measurement of the speed of light is the first well excepted and highly accurate measurement of the speed of light. |
| Setup |
|
The method of measurement I used was the Foucault-Michelson Method. It involes using a spinning mirrior and known path lenghts to determine the speed of light. Here is a picture of my first setup. The picture is not me. It is my friend Justin.
I found that the path lenght was to short for accurate measurement so I moved the experiment to a long hall way. |
