An Alternative Speed of Light Measurement Experiment for a Senior Physics Laboratory.
Parisi, A. V.; Mottram, K.; Kimlin, M. G.; Wilson, M.; Wollstein, A.
Australian Science Teachers' Journal, v45 n4 p54-56 Nov 1999
Describes a simple time-of-flight experiment using readily available equipment. The method of measuring the speed of light uses a modulated laser and introduces students to some concepts of optics, measurement of very small time intervals, modulation of lasers, waveform generation, fast detectors, and data processing.
