Time it takes for sunlight to reach the Earth (3165)
Jueves 21 de mayo de 2015, por
There are 150 000 000 km between the Sun and the Earth. If the velocity of light in a vacuum is 300 000 km/s, how long does it take for light to reach the Earth?
Clearing time in the velocity equation (being c the speed of light):
![c = \frac{d}{t}\ \to\ \color[RGB]{2,112,20}{\bm{t = \frac{d}{c}}}](local/cache-vignettes/L157xH48/505db1472ee3c631a9a0c1c3557498b2-0e3ca.png?1733056854 "c = \frac{d}{t}\ \to\ \color[RGB]{2,112,20}{\bm{t = \frac{d}{c}}}"){kind=small}
Now is time to solve the equation:
![t = \frac{1.5\cdot 10^8\ \cancel{km}}{3\cdot 10^5\frac{\cancel{km}}{s}}= \fbox{\color[RGB]{192,0,0}{\bf 500\ s}}](local/cache-vignettes/L245xH58/b7038729cafa3e52ad5b60d4e3eba687-812c9.png?1733056854 "t = \frac{1.5\cdot 10^8\ \cancel{km}}{3\cdot 10^5\frac{\cancel{km}}{s}}= \fbox{\color[RGB]{192,0,0}{\bf 500\ s}}")
