1600s Galileo attempted to measure the speed of light using blank?

Galileo attempted to measure the speed of light using lanterns positioned at known distances and observing the time it took for light to travel between them. He would uncover the lanterns simultaneously and use a telescope to try and detect any delay in the light reaching his eyes. However, his methods were not sensitive enough to accurately measure the speed of light.

How fast is the speed of sound and speed of light added together?

The speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s, and the speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 km/s. When added together, the speed of sound and the speed of light do not directly add up because sound requires a medium to travel through, while light can travel in a vacuum.


Who is the scientist use the light year to measure the speed of light?

It doesn't work that way. The light-year is not used to measure the speed of light. It works the other way round: First, the speed of light is determined through other methods, then the distance called a light-year is calculated based on that measurements.


When did scientists attempt to measure the speed of light?

The first successful attempt to measure the speed of light was in 1676 by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer. He estimated the speed of light by observing the eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io.
