Why is the speed of light calculation so Important ?
First we will find a way to measure the speed of light value to learn about its significance. Let's say that the speed of light is 3x10^8 meters per second. It means that it can travel a distance of 3x10^8 meters in 1 second. Misconceptions: 1.) Let's say we create an imaginary tunnel of length 3x10^8 meters. And add a stopwatch on … Continue reading Why is the speed of light calculation so Important ?
