Answer:
The time required to send the data from Earth to Moon will be 1.28s while for a two way communication, to send it back to the earth, it will take double time i.e. <em>RTT = 2.56s </em>
Explanation:
Distance between Earth and Moon = 385,000 km = 3.85 x 10⁸m
Speed of data travel = speed of light ≈ 3 x 10⁸m/s
As, v=d/t
t=d/v
t=1.28s
RTT = Double of single way time taken = 2x1.28
<em><u>RTT=2.56s</u></em>
