The speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. How long does it take for light to travel from Earth to the Moon and back again? Express your
bija089 [108]

Answer:

v = 3×10^8 m/s

s= 384,400 km= 3.84×10^8 m/s

t = ?

v = s/t = 2s/t

t = 2s/v

t = (2×3.84×10^8) ÷ 3×10^8

t = 2.56 seconds

Explanation:

Earth's moon is the brightest object in our

night sky and the closest celestial body. Its

presence and proximity play a huge role in

making life possible here on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull stabilizes Earth's wobble on its axis, leading to a stable climate.

The moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696

km) from Earth. On average, the distance fromEarth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). According to NASA , "That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the moon."

A radar operates at a wavelength of 3 centimeters. what is the frequency of the these waves? the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]
We are given information:
λ = wavelength = 3cm = 0.03m \\ &#10;c = speed of light =  3* 10^{8}m/s

Formula that connects wavelength and frequency is:
frequency= \frac{speed of light}{wavelength} \\ f= \frac{3* 10^{8}}{0.03} \\ f=1 * 10^{10} Hz = 10GHz
