Answer:
<em> It takes 186.67 second for the light to travel from Mars to earth.</em>
Explanation:
Light: Light is a visible form of energy which is radiated outward from a source. Light travels in a straight line, and this phenomenon is called rectilinear propagation of light.
S = d/t .......................... Equation 1
making t the subject of the equation
t = d/S ......................... Equation 2
Where S = speed of light, d = distance between the earth and Mars, t = time
<em>Given: d = 56000000 km, S = 300000 km per seconds.</em>
<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>
<em>t = 56000000/300000</em>
<em>t = 186.67 seconds.</em>
<em>Thus it takes 186.67 second for the light to travel from Mars to earth.</em>
