Question
Find the speed of light in feet per nanosecond, to three significant figures.
Step 1
We know that 1 meter is approximately equal to 3.28 feet. So, we multiply the speed of light in meters per second by 3.28 to get the speed of light in feet per second. \[c_{ft/s} = c_{m/s} \times 3.28\] Show more…
