Step 1
Given time duration (t) = 1.24 x 10^-3 s Speed of light (c) = 3 x 10^8 m/s Distance (d) = c * t / 2 Show more…

How far away (in $\mathrm{km}$ ) is an airplane if the radar wave returns to the scanning radar unit in $1.24 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s} ?$

The Speed of Light
A radar wave is bounced off an airplane and returns to the radar receiver in 2.50x10^-5 s. How far (in km) is the airplane from the radar receiver?

A radar spots an enemy plane. A radio pulse emitted by the radar and reflected by the plane reaches back in 0.5 * 10^-3 s. What is the distance of the plane from the radar station? [Take the speed of the radar pulse = speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s]
