Experiment:
If you’d like to try the experiment I did at home then you’ll need a phone with Lidar or you can get a laser meter quite cheaply at a hardware store. If you use an iphone, the app I found most reliable for the measurement was this one: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lidar-measuring/id1535032210

Code:
