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.
Transverse and longitudinal waves, the wave equation, sound, reflection, refraction, interference and diffraction.
