Question

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 33 fs?

Answer 1

Given:

Time taken by the electromagnetic radiation, t = 33 fs

To determine:

The distance (d) travelled

Explanation:

Time taken = 33 fs (femtosecond)

1 fs = 10⁻¹⁵ s

Thus t = 33 *10⁻¹⁵ s

Speed of electromagnetic radiation = 3*10⁸ m/s

Distance = Speed * Time = 3*10⁸ ms-1 * 33*10⁻¹⁵ s = 99*10⁻⁷ m

Ans: distance traveled = 9.9*10⁻⁶ m
