What is the value of c?
Answers
This value is found from the unit of meter, a 40,000,000th of the circonference of the Earth, and the one of the second, a 86,400th or the revolution time of the Earth with respect to the Sun. With this units, the speed is measured as the distance over time travelled by the light. A historically important measure was done from the apparent irregularities of the orbit of one satellite of Jupiter.
Today, the speed of light is the standard, and the meter is defined from it.
In relativity, c can be set to 1, it is just the speed limit of information.
In Maxwell's theory, c is related to the permeability and the permitivity, mu and epsilon, of vacuum. It can thus be calculated from the electromagnetic interaction without being directly measured.
