A radio announcer's voice is transmitted via radio waves a distance of 715.18 km. How much time, in microseconds, will it take to transmit the wave over this distance?

Respuesta :

We know that a radio wave travels at the speed of light and we also know that the time can be calculated by the equation:

[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]

Plugging the speed of light and the distance the wave traveled we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} t=\frac{715.18\times10^3}{3\times10^8} \\ t=2383.93\times10^{-6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, it takes 2383.93 microseconds to travel this distance
