Speed of Light
Equipment
- Tektronix TDS 1002 Oscilloscope
- Time to Amplitude Converter (TAC)
- PMT
- LED
Goals
In this lab, the goal is to measure the speed of light, simply enough, but this is not a simple experiment. As the most fundamental constant in physics, as well as the fastest, It is extremely difficult to measure, as it is not possible to measure a phenomenon that occurs faster than measuring devices can send and receive signals using conventional means.
