Bragg Diffraction Diffraction of microwaves off a crystal Bragg This is a large scale version of the original experiment.
Michelson Interferometry Interference of light to compare paths Michelson Interference with laser and a beam splitter.
Planck's constant through LEDs Light emitted off a p-n junction Planck Electrons and holes collide emitting photons.
Thomson e/m experiment Electrons are accelerated by fields Thomson Electrons describe a circular trajectory in a magnetic field.
Speed of light Measure c with a modulated laser C is for celeritas Measure distance and time of a modulated laser beam.
