STEM GROUP – November 2023
The November event takes place on the 11th November. We will be joined by Chris Thorpe from Thales Alenia Space and we will be looking at :-
- What is light?
- Why is measuring it important?
- Ways to measure light:
- Properties of light
- Measuring the speed of light:
- Via Snell’s Law
- Microwave Method
- Interferometric
- Error Analysis.
The target audience for this is going to be A'level upwards, Undergraduate and also those working within industry as well as anyone else interested.
Please note I am NOT planning any other science activities, but am planning activities that are related to the above.
As a result while the STEM group event is usually 11am to 15:00 it may be cut short so there is more time to pack away at the end.

On a related topic, this is a Transit simulator for looking at how we find planets around other stars.
