Speed of Light: How Fast Is Light and How Was It Measured?
The speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. Learn how it was measured, how fast light travels in water and glass, and why nothing can go faster.
Special relativity, quantum theory, the photoelectric effect, atomic structure and nuclear physics explained.
