What is the distance to the moon if a laser pointed at the moon took 2.5 sec to reflect back?
When a laser beam is sent to the moon, reflected there, and returned to the earth, it takes 2.5 seconds for the round trip. Calculate the distance to the moon.
Answer:
Laser rays travel at the speed of light c = 3*10^8 m/s
Now let distance of moon from earth be x metres...hence the total diatance cOvered by the laser is 2*x...
Therefore, using the formula distance = speed * time, we get,
2*x=c*2.5 (where c is the apeed of light)
Solving for x,
X= 3.75 * 10^8
