Question

If a photon of light took 26 hours to reach earth, how far away is the source of light?

Better World · Accepted Answer

You must first know the speed of light, then use the equation distance=time/speed to work it out.

Tania · Answer

speed of photon = 3 * 10^8 m/sec
time = 26 hours
Distance = speed * time
= 3*10^8 * 26 * 60 * 60
= 2808 * 10^10 m
= 2808 * 10^7 km

That is a conversion problem.
Light travels at 300 million meters per second.
So, 26 x 60 x60 x C

sgeo786 · Answer

1 light year = 9.4605284 × 10^15  meters


26/365=0.0712 light years

=0.0712 x 9.4605284 × 10^15  =6.7 x 10^14 meters

mscallicat · Answer

d = r x t
d = 3.0*10^8 m/s x 26 hrs x 3600 s/1 hr

Ben H · Answer

change the speed of light from 3.0*10^8m/s into m/hr and then multiply by 26hrs to get the distance in meters.

26* speed of light in km/h.

MBenz · Answer

26 hours = 1560 minutes = 93600 seconds
Speed of light : 300,000,000 m/s
Distance: 300,000,000 m/s * 93600 s = 2.806 x 10^13 meters

Vijay Anand · Answer

2.808*10^13 metres

my guess is 28,060,574,068,800 miles. speed of light times time.
