The distance traveled by the light in 2 hours is 2.16×10⁹ km.

Distance:

This is the total length of space between two points covered by an object. Distance has no regard for direction as it is termed a scalar quantity. The S.I unit of distance is meter(m).

To calculate the distance traveled by the light in 2 hours, first, we need to calculate the speed of the light.

Formula:

  • S = d/t................. equation 1

Where:

  • S = speed
  • d = distance travelled
  • t = time

From the question,

Given:

  • d = 1.08×10⁹ km
  • t = 1 hour

Therefore,

  • s = 1.08×10⁹/1
  • s = 1.08×10⁹ km/h

The distance traveled in 2 hours is

  • d = 2×1.08×10⁹
  • d = 2.16×10⁹ km

Hence, the distance traveled by the light in 2 hours is 2.16×10⁹ km
