We must find how much time the reflected Sunlight from the Moon would take to reach us (as we are on Earth).
Answer to Problem 72GP
Solution:
We know that distance between us (Earth)and Moon is 3∙844×108 m
Explanation of Solution
Here is the explanation of the solution
Given:
Sunlight is being reflected from the Moon and reflected sunlight is reaching us on Earth. So reflected light is travelling a distance which is equal to the distance between Moon and Earth. Speed of light we know in space is 2∙99×108 m/s.
Formula used:
Calculation:
As we know Time=Distance/Speed
