Each year in the light and optics unit, there is at least one
student asked how the speed of light 3* 10^8 m/s is measured or
obtained.  For three years I tried to show the class, but ONLY
VERY FEW students can follow the presentation.  It became a
lost cause and a waste of time.  Does any one has any easy,
simpler way or method (less mathematical and easier to
understand)  to answer this question.
