Question

In an experiment to measure the speed of light using the apparatus of Armand H. L. Fizeau (as shown), the distance between light source and mirror was 11.45 km and the wheel had 720 notches. The experimentally determined value of c was 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s when the outgoing light passed through one notch and then returned through the next notch. Calculate the minimum angular speed of the wheel for this experiment.
