Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A beam of laser light is sent to a satellite from a transmitter and travels 40,000 km. Elapsed time is recorded. This is all done to prove that the speed of light is 300,000 km/sec. This interesting clip can be used when you teach young physicists about the speed of light.
