Just For Fun! - Physics (20) How Would You Calculate the Speed of Light in 1927? (1 of 2)

Michelson devised a brilliant experiment that calculated the speed of light to be v=299,796km/s. That is an error of 0.001% of the actual speed of light in a vacuum v=299,792.458k/s! (Part 1) We will learn how Michelson “measured” the distance=?? between the traveled path of the light. The distance between Mt. Wilson and Mt. San Antonio (Mt. Baldy). (Part 2) We will learn how Michelson measured the time=?? for the light to travel between Mt. Wilson and Mt. San Antonio (Mt. Baldy).
