Armand Hippolyte Louis Fizeau FRS FRSE MIF[clarification needed] (French pronunciation:[aʁmɑ̃ipɔlitlwifizo]; 23 September 1819 – 18 September 1896) was a French physicist, who in 1849 measured the speed of light to within 5% accuracy. In 1851, he measured the speed of light in moving water in an experiment known as the Fizeau experiment.
