What do you want to convert it to ??
Example: Convert [ 'Q' km per second ] to [ miles per minute ].
Use:
(60 sec/min) = 1
(1 mile/ 1.609344 km) = 1
(Q km/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (mile/1.609344 km) = (Q x 60/1.609344) x (km-sec-mile/sec-min-km)
= 37.2823 Q mile/min

To convert the speed of light from meters per second to kilometers per second using dimensional analysis, we can set up a conversion factor. One kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, so the conversion factor is 1 km = 1000 m. Therefore, we can multiply the speed of light in meters per second by the conversion factor to get the speed of light in kilometers per second.

How many joules of light energy are in 1440 watts of electrical energy?
A joule is a joule, whether it be electrical energy or light energy - although commonly, lamps are not 100% efficient.On the other hand, you can't convert joules directly to watts. Watts means joules per second (joules / second), or equivalently, joules is watts times seconds.A joule is a joule, whether it be electrical energy or light energy - although commonly, lamps are not 100% efficient.On the other hand, you can't convert joules directly to watts.

What reactions convert light energy to chemical energy?
The light dependent reactions take in the light energy and convert that to chemical energy, but it is in the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions) where the chemical energy is stored in a complex sugar.
What Organelles in plants that convert light energy to food during photosynthesis are?
Chloroplasts convert light energy to food during photosynthesis in plants.
What organelles in plants convert light energy to food during photosynthesis are?
Chloroplasts convert light energy to food during photosynthesis in plants.
Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
How you convert speed of light meter per second square to kilogram?
You cannot
How many miles is the speed of light in kph?
miles... in kph??? Anyway, the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second; you can convert that to whatever unit you want. For example, to convert to kilometers/hour, multiply by 3600.
What is the three-dimensional image produced by laser light?
the three-dimensional image produced by laser light is a hologram

How many meters does light travel in 2 hours?
Light travels 300,000 km per second, or 300 million meters/second. Convert the 2 hours to seconds, then multiply by 300 million.
The wavelength of a beam of light passing through a vacuum is 420 nanometers. What is the frequency of the light beam?
You need to divide the speed of light by the wavelength. (To have consistent units, you must first either convert the speed of light to nm/second, or convert the wavelength to meters.)
What speed of llight in kilometres per hour?
Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second. Multiply that by 3600 to convert that to km/hour.
How long would 475 miles be in hours?
This question cannot be answered sensibly. A mile is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. An hour is a measure of time, with dimensions [T]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that in most cases you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions without additional information. There is no information on who or what is travelling - a light beam? a snail? - or, if a person, by what means - plane, train, walking?
What is the light bulb is used for?
to convert electricity into light
Are rainbows 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional?
if youy mix water with light you normally get a rainbow, due to this experiment it is obviously proven that a rainbow is 2D (2 Dimensional)
What objects convert electricity to light?
Light Companies (:
How is the energy convert to light?
Using a light bulb.
