To solve the problem we must know about the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time.
<h3>What is the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time?</h3>
We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,
![\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%7BSpeed%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BDistance%7D%7BTime%7D)
The speed of the light is 30,060.12 km/sec.
Given to us
- The distance between the earth and the sun is 15000000km
- Light takes 499 seconds to reach earth from the sun.
We know that speed can be described as,
![\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%7BSpeed%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BDistance%7D%7BTime%7D)
Therefore,
<h3>What is the speed of the light?</h3>
![\text{Speed of light} = \dfrac{\text{Distance between the earth and the sun}}{\text{Time taken by the light to travel the distance}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BSpeed%20of%20light%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BDistance%20between%20the%20earth%20and%20the%20sun%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BTime%20taken%20by%20the%20light%20to%20travel%20the%20distance%7D%7D)
Substitute the value,
![\text{Speed of light} = \dfrac{15,000,000\ km}{499\ seconds}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BSpeed%20of%20light%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B15%2C000%2C000%5C%20km%7D%7B499%5C%20seconds%7D)
![\text{Speed of light} = 30,060.12\ km/sec](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BSpeed%20of%20light%7D%20%3D%2030%2C060.12%5C%20km%2Fsec)
Hence, the speed of the light is 30,060.12 km/sec.
