Answer:
t = 8.33 minutes
Explanation:
given,
Speed of Light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
distance between sun to Earth = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m
time taken to reach earth = ?
we know,
Distance = speed x time
[tex]t = \dfrac{d}{s}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}[/tex]
t = 500 s
1 min = 60 s
now, [tex]t = \dfrac{500}{60}\ minutes[/tex]
t = 8.33 minutes
time taken by the light to reach earth is equal to 8.33 minutes.
