Consider a pulse of laser light aimed at the Moon that bounces back to Earth. The distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.84 * 108 m. Show that the round-trip time for the light is 2.56 s. @Abhisar

3.84*108^2?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

All ryt lets do this !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Time = \(\huge\frac{Distance}{Speed}\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Speed of laser light which is a light =3*10\(^8\)m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Here distance wil be 2*3.84*10\(^8\) since it is a round trip

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Plug in the values and we will get the time

OpenStudy (abhisar):

got it ?

yep makes sense
