What is the speed of light in one nenosecond?

Answer»

The definition of the speed of light is:  299,792,458 meters per second and one second equals 10nanoseconds.

Set it up like this:  (299,792,458 m/s) x (1 s/109 ns) 

0.299792458 meters per nanosecond  

One meter is defined as 39.37 inches.  

(0.299792458 m/ns) x (39.37 in 1/m) = 11.8 inches per nanosecond 

One foot is 12 inches. 

Light travels approximately one foot in one nanosecond.
