To find the Speed of light I had to recall the wave equation, which is v=λf. To find the wavelength I had to do an experiment. First I grabbed a slice of bread, I added a thick layer margarine to the top. Then I put it in the microwave for 40 seconds to let the margarine melt. After the 40 seconds, I took it out and got a ruler to measure the "hotspots". The "hot spots" were about 4cm, I converted cm to meters. Then I did my calculations. The wavelength was 0.04m, the frequency was 300mHhz.The velocity is 12m/s
