Measure the speed of light using chocolate Write 1 half to 2 pages lab report and strictly follow the example format! thanks Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like light waves. Microwaves also travel at the speed of light. If you measure how fast they are travelling, you should get a result close to the speed of light. When you measure the distance between two melted spots you can work out the wavelength of the microwaves. Measuring the distance between melted spots gave you half a wavelength. You need to multiply the distance by two to get a whole wavelength.
