Hi my name is stephanie could you answer a couple of questions please it's important
im doing a science fair project on the speed of light and I'm measuring the speed of light withil a microwave oven and I'm supposed to calculate the speed with the wavelength of the microwaves not I don't know what that is could you please tell me what it is so I can do my project????

Re: Ask an Expert
Hi Stephanie,
A good way to figure out what complicated terms mean is to simply Google them! There are usually many different results that explain what's confusing you in a variety of ways. For example, I searched your experiment and found
1) A Science Buddies page on how to do this experiment that includes lots of background on the physics involved (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p056.shtml) and...
2) This simple, nice video on the physical concepts and how to do the experiment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH5W6xEeY5U).
Hope that helps you get started!
