Question

the speed of light is 670.6x10^6 miles per hour. what is the speed of light in units of meters per second. 1 mile =1609 meters

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
