STEM Speaker Series Speaker 1: Measuring the Speed of Light with Home-Brew Equipment by Bernd Geh
- Speaker: Bernd Geh
- Date: September 16, 2026
- Time: 3:30 - 4:30 pm
- Location: SL-116
This talk will include a short history of how the speed of light was measured, then turns to a home-built experiment that puts the question to the test. The apparatus is deliberately modest — an intensity-modulated laser diode, a photodiode detector, and an oscilloscope — used to clock light over a few-hundred-meter path on the SCC campus.
