A physics teacher asked a student to find how much time does the light take to reach the earth if the distance between the sun and the earth is `150xx10^(6)km`? Teacher also gives an extra input that velocity of light is `3xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`. What would be the answer of the student? |
Answer» Velocity of light, `c=3xx10^(8)ms^(-1)` Distance of the sun from the earth, `d=150xx10^(6)km`. `=150xx10^(6)xx10^(3)m` `150xx10^(9)m` `:."Velocity"=("distance")/("time (t)")=500s` `=8.33` minute `:.` light takes 8.33 minute to reach the surface of the earth from the sun. |
