Important Setup Notes:

Setup and Procedure:

  1. Set out the nanosecond ruler.

Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:

Discussion:

we've cut down a old meter stick to 29cm. This gives a conceptional view of the distance light travels in one nanosecond. Now one can discuss the concept of a light-year or speed of light (ie. 6A01.10).
