Speed of light measurement for the myriad

1999 
We discuss a time-of-flight measurement of the speed of light which is inexpensive to build, has an experimental design completely accessible to students with a rudimentary knowledge of interference, and consistently produces values for c with errors of less than 1%. Students at the sophomore level can use the same apparatus to achieve uncertainties on the order of 0.25%.
