Radio signals travel at a rate of 3x10^8 meters per second. how many seconds will it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 3.6x10^7

1.) 8.3 seconds
2.) 10.8 x 10^15 seconds
3.) 1.2 x 10^-1 seconds
4.) 1.08 x 10^16 seconds

c:

Option 3

The time taken for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the Earth is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Radio signals travel at a rate of meters per second. The satellite is orbiting at a height of .

To find : How many seconds will it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the Earth?

Solution :

The speed of radio signal is   meters per second.

The distance or height of satellite orbiting is .

Substitute the value in the formula,

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.

The time taken for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the Earth is
