Light Speed Distance Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Light Speed Distance.
LSD = LS * T
- Where LSD is the Light Speed Distance (m)
- T is the total time of travel at light speed (s)
- LS is the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s)
How to Calculate Light Speed Distance?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Light Speed Distance.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total time of travel at light speed (s).
- The total time of travel at light speed (s) is given as: 3s.
- Finally, calculate the Light Speed Distance using the equation above:
LSD = LS * T
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
LSD = 299,792,458 * 3 = 899377374 (m)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
total time of travel at light speed (s) = 6
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
LSD = LS * T = ?
