Answer to Problem 6.1P

  299.792M

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

We have

  V=Dt

Where, V is the velocity of the electromagnetic energy, D is the distance traveled by the electromagnetic energy in time t, and t is the time of the travel.

The velocity of the electromagnetic energy in vacuum is 299,792,458m/sec .

Substitute the values in the equation.

  D=299,792,458m/s×1μsecD=299,792,458m/s×1μsec× 10 6sec1μsecD=299.792m

Conclusion:

Therefore, the distance in travel corresponding to 1μ sec of time electromagnetic energy is

  299.792m .
