Answer:
speed of light is 3 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] meters per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The speed of light is 3 x [tex]10^{5}[/tex] kilometers per second.
To find : What is that in standard form.
Solution : We have given 3 x [tex]10^{5}[/tex] kilometers per second.
First we convert it in to meter per sec.
We can write
3 x [tex]10^{5}[/tex] = 300000 kilometer per second .
We know that 1 km = 1000 meter.
Then 300000000 meter per second
Now, 3 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] meter per second.
Therefore, speed of light is 3 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] meters per second.
