1. In the given Fizeau apparatus, 3 D = 12 km = 12 10 m n = 180 8 c = 3 10 m/sec 2Dn We know, c = c c 180 = rad/sec = deg/sec 2Dn 2Dn = 1.25 10 deg/sec 24 10 3 180 In the given Focault experiment, R = Distance between fixed and rotating mirror = 16m = Angular speed = 356 rev/ = 356 2 rad/sec b = Distance between lens and rotating mirror = 6m a = Distance between source and lens = 2m 3 s = shift in image = 0.7 cm = 0.7 10 m So, speed of light is given by, =

180 3 10 8
