If Galileo and his assistant were 16 km apart, how long would it take light to make the round-trip?

How does this time compare with reaction times of about 0.4 s?

1 answer

1. d = VT,
T =d/V = 32000m / 3*10^8m/s = 1.067*10^-4s.

2. T/Tr = 1.067*10^-4 / 0.4 = 2.6675*10^-4
of the reaction t.me, Tr.
