Popis:	A small tabletop experiment for a direct measurement of the speed of light to an accuracy of few percent is described. The experiment is accessible to a wide spectrum of undergraduate students, in particular to students not majoring in science or engineering. The experiment may further include a measurement of the index of refraction of a sample. Details of the setup and equipment are given. Results and limitations of the experiment are analyzed, partly based on our experience in employing the experiment in our student laboratories. Safety considerations are also discussed.
