Answer:
t = 4.17 hours
Explanation:
given,
The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km
= 4.5 x 10⁹ Km
= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m
The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.
V = d / t m/s
∴ t = d / V
= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s
= 15,000 s
= 4.17 h
Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h
