Breakthrough Reported In Measuring Speed Of Light
The National Bureau of Standards reports a breakthrough in speed of light measurement using laser light. The Boulder Colorado team achieved 186 282 3960 miles per second plus or minus 3.6 feet per second, enabling more precise constants for space and communications. The study links laser frequency stability to cesium oscillations and krypton wavelength. The result could expand telecommunications bands and improve interplanetary calculations and pollutant gauging.
