A lossless transmission line is terminated by an open circuit. An incident signal travels from the source to the load gets reflected and travels all the way back to the source. It takes 4 microseconds for the signal to go from the source to the load and then from the load to the source. What is the length of the line (in m) if the propagation velocity is equal to the speed of light (in m/s)? Enter only the numerical value. No need for the unit. Use four decimal places (if the answer is not an integer).
