Sure! Here’s the calculation in plain ASCII:
Speed of light: c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s
Distance: d = 10 cm = 0.10 m
Time to cross distance: t = d / c
t = 0.10 / (3.0 x 10^8)
t ≈ 3.33 x 10^-10 seconds
Result:
t ≈ 0.33 nanoseconds
For reference:
- 1 nanosecond = light travels ~30 cm
- 10 cm = ~0.33 ns
- 1 meter = ~3.3 ns
