How many minutes does it take light, at a speed of 3.00e8 m/s (meters per second) to travel a distance of 93 million miles from the Sun to the Earth?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 8.27 minutes

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of light is [tex]3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

Distance of 93 million miles or [tex]93\times 10^6\ \text{miles}=1.49\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

let t is time. So

[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1.49\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=496.66\ s[/tex]

or

t = 8.27 minutes

So, 8.27 minutes is taken by the light.
