Light travels extremely rapidly (c = 3.00×108 m/s ). Suppose you had to travel 40 miles to work every day. If you traveled at the speed of light for the entire trip, how long would it take you to get to work (in seconds)? [1 mile = 1.61 km]
Given , Speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s Distance = 40 × 1.61× 1000 m = 264400 m We know that, speed = distance/time so, time = distance/speed t = 264400 / 3 × 10⁸ t = 0.00881333 sec Approx The answer is 0.00881333 sec Approx
