If the speed of light is 3·0 × 108 ms–1, calculate the distance covered by light in 2.00 ns.

Solution

Distance covered  = Speed x Time
  equals space 3.0 space cross times space 10 to the power of 8 space ms to the power of negative 1 end exponent space cross times space 2.00 space ns
equals 3.0 space cross times 10 to the power of 8 space ms to the power of negative 1 end exponent cross times 2.00 space ns space cross times space fraction numerator 10 to the power of negative 9 end exponent straight s over denominator 1 space ns end fraction
equals space 6.00 space cross times space 10 to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight m space equals space 0.600 space straight m
