Speed of Light
Selected Literature References
Understanding and measuring the speed of light has challenged the minds of the great physicists from around the world over the ages. Even in today's technologically rich society, new discoveries still produce scientific debate and advances. Included in this section are references to books and review articles that discuss theoretical and applied aspects relating to the measurement of the speed of light, and how this constant effects our understanding of the physics of light and color.
