Comment on Home experiments to derive the speed of light?

Comments

Interesting answers there. I remember doing the capacitor experiment in a first-year physics course in university. Though we were measuring mu sub 0, the permeability of free space. The formula is just reversed though.

It should be an interesting and cheap way to measure the speed of light.
