Speed of Light Determining the speed of light is something that has been a very long and trying process. No one scientist could determine such a thing. Galileo was the first noted scientist to attempt experimentation on the speed of light. Other famous scientist‚ such as‚ Roemer‚ Foucault‚ Fizeau‚ Michelson‚ and Einstein added their own discoveries to the collage of information gathered through the years. Every scientist performed their experiments differently based on the knowledge and ability

The speed of light (meaning speed of light in vacuum)‚ usually denoted by c‚ is a physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its value is 299‚792‚458 metres per second‚ a figure that is exact since the length of the metre is defined from this constant and the international standard for time.[2] This speed is approximately 186‚282 miles per second. It is the maximum speed at which all energy‚ matter‚ and information in the universe can travel. It is the speed of all massless particles and

Clocking the Speed of Light Why is the speed of light important? -Having a accurate number for the speed of light allows for accurate measurements of the universe around us -Even small inaccuracies make large differences when measuring the space between stars‚ planets‚ and galaxies -The more precise our measurement of the speed of light the more precise our measurements are of the universe because light is the universal measurement used Light as Infinite -Most scholars agreed that light had an

and the speed of light “So far as problems involving light are concerned‚ the electrons (in atoms) behave as though they were held by springs”.Feynman “In a microscopic but otherwise classical analysis‚ the electric field in electromagnetic radiation accelerates electrons held by springs in the atoms of a piece of glass‚ and these accelerated electrons re-radiate in all directions. The observed light is the superposition of the electric (and magnetic) fields of the incoming light and the

The Speed of Light and the Moons of Jupiter Introduction: In this lab we focused on the eclipses of the moon Io of Jupiter. Galileo was the first to discover the four moons of Jupiter and since then astronomers have discovered the orbital periods of them‚ 1.8 days being approximately Io’s. It was also noted that these moons disappeared and reappeared at certain points in their orbit. This was because when the moons were behind Jupiter they were not able to reflect light. In this lab we had
