What type of audience is the experiment directed to?

Measure the speed of light with cables... it costs about $15, and its really accurate and really cool.

You could always shoot someone and describe the trajectory of the bullet.

Speaking of whic....how do scientists measure the speed of light!?

I just recently measured the wavelength of sodium light by Newton's Rings for a physics investigation, turned out to be more accurate than I thought as well. I managed to get it within 2 nm of the accepted value, 589 nm. Has anyone else used this method and what kind of value did they get?
