Galileo, in order to measure the speed of light, performed this simple experiment: He and his assistant each took a lantern that had a shutter in front of it,
and stood on hilltops one mile apart in the night.
Galileo was to flash his lantern, and the assistant was to open the shutter of his own
lantern as soon as he saw the light from Galileo's lantern. Galileo had planned to
measure the time taken for light to travel from one hill to the other and back, and
calculate the speed of light using the formula, Speed = distance travelled / time
taken But he could not measure the speed of light using this method. What could
have been the reason for this?
A. The distance between the two hills was too much for them to see the light from
the other person's lantern.
B. Light does not travel in straight lines and so the distance travelled by it cannot
be measured.
C. The time taken for the light to travel would have been too little to have been
measured by them.
D. Light does not travel because it is present everywhere, so its 'speed' cannot be
calculated
