We all learn that light speed in a stationary medium is v=c/n where n is the refractive index. What is the speed if the medium is moving at speed u? Could that speed exceed c? Using interferometry, we can measure the change in light speed induced by fast moving water. This project was started in Fall 2014 by students in Physics 247.
