hi i wanted to know if we could calculate the speed of light using only one 
delfection in foucault's method. by this i mean can we, instead of using 
deflection = deflection clockwise - delfection anti-clockwise, just use the 
clockwise deflection and hence only one frequency in the numerator in 
foucault's method. thank you!
