the speed of light is 3.0 x 10^8 m.s^-1. what is the speed in nm.ms^-1 ?

Please explain your answer. Thank you!

Respuesta :

The speed of light in nm/s can be [tex]\rm \bold{3.0\;\times\;10^1^7}[/tex] nm/s.

The speed can be defined as the distance traveled by an object in unit time. Speed has no directions, thus it has been a scalar quantity.

The speed can be expressed as:

Speed = [tex]\rm \dfrac{distance}\[Time[/tex]

The SI unit of speed has been m/s.

The speed of light = [tex]\rm 3.0\;\times\;10^8[/tex] m/s

The unit can be converted into nm/s as follows:

[tex]\rm 3.0\;\times\;10^8[/tex] m/s = [tex]\rm \dfrac{3.0\;\times\;10^8\;m}{1\;s}[/tex]

1 m = [tex]\rm 10^9\;nm[/tex]

[tex]\rm \dfrac{3.0\;\times\;10^8\;m}{1\;s}[/tex] = [tex]\rm \dfrac{3.0\;\times\;10^8\;\times\;10^9\;nm}{1\;s}[/tex]

= [tex]\rm \dfrac{3.0\;\times\;10^1^7\;nm}{1\;s}[/tex]

= [tex]\rm \bold{3.0\;\times\;10^1^7}[/tex] nm/s.

The speed of light in nm/s can be [tex]\rm \bold{3.0\;\times\;10^1^7}[/tex] nm/s.
