Melting chocolate chips in the microwave also lets you estimate the speed of light. Take out the rotating platform, so you can see the peaks and troughs of the standing EM waves in the chocolate and measure the wavelength. Multiply by the frequency of the microwave (2.5GHz, you can look this up) and voila!

That’s pretty cool Jason! I’ll have to try it next time I melt chocolate chips.
