Notes

The idea with an API for ambient light is to be able to detect the light level around the device – especially since there’s a vast difference between being outside in sunlight and sitting in a dim living room – and adapt the user experience based on that.

Notes

"The fact that microwaves are now readily available to most of us in the western world and they are only a few centimetres in length, means that you can measure the speed of light in your very own home.The quickest and tastiest way to perform this little experiment is with marshmallows, but chocolate chips also work. You’ll obviously need a microwave oven as well, and a large, microwaveable dish. You will need a ruler, too."
