In the years that followed, as better equipment and techniques were developed, many other people were able to measure the speed of light more accurately. With the resources of today's technology, we can measure it to an incredibly high precision.

All you do now is multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The product is the speed of light. ... Take the ruler and measure the distance between the melted spots. You will find that one distance repeats over and over. This distance will correspond to half the wavelength of the microwave, about 6 cm. Now turn the oven...

Attached to one end of the cable is a source of light (laser). Attached to the other end is a detector. The cable is very long, greater than 10 miles. To keep the slack out of the cable, ... Thus acquiring t' and knowing d, we can rearrange the first equation to solve for v, the speed of light (in meters per second).

In this rare state of matter, the flow of sound through the material is expressed the same way that the movement of light in a gravitational field is expressed, which has led the scientists to realize that they could create this analog of a black hole for sound.
