Answer:

8.33 minutes

Explanation:

First let us find out how much time it takes for the light for the sun to reach the earth

Distance between Earth and Sun is 1.5×10¹¹ m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

\text{Time taken}=\frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken}=500\ seconds

Converting to minutes

500\ seconds=\frac{500}{60}=8.33\ minutes

So, it takes 8.33 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth.

This means that we would be receiving light for 8.33 minutes after the Sun turned off.

Alisiya [41]
ONE CAN perform this by doing an ideal experiment
by creating an isothermal system
its like you supply heat to a body and that body is present at very low temperature the amount of heat you supply is equal to the amount of heat lost by that body due to difference in the temperature of the body and the surrounding. heating curve will be constant as there is no change in the internal energy of the system ..
