Light waves move through a vacuum at their maximum speed, 300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second. Which makes light the fastest phenomenon in the universe. Light waves slow down when they hit or pass through something.

How far does light travel in 1s?
light travels 300,000km
How far can the speed light can travel?
The speed of light is about 183,000 miles per second, or just under 300,000 kilometers per second. Radio transmissions, which travel at the speed of light, can go from the earth to the moon in under two seconds, but it would take them almost nine minutes to reach the sun. As far as distance, no one has ever theorized that light stops traveling, if unimpaired by a solid substance. It's presumed that it can travel to the known edges of the universe, but it can take it billions of years to get there.
How far can infrared light reach?
Infrared light is just light of a specific wavelength it can travel as far as any other wavelength of light.
How far can light travel in one trillionth of a second?
0.3 cm a) one trillionth of a second= 1.0x10^-12 b) light travels at = 3x10^8 meters per second b/a= 0.0003 meters = 0.3 cm actually 0.03cm or 0.3mm or 300µm

As far as light can travel
How far does the speed of light travel after an hour?
Speed doesn't travel. Light travels.Light goes about 300,000 km in a second; in an hour, it goes 3600 times as far, since an hour has 3600 seconds.
How far will light will travel in half a second?
Very Far 149296229 meters inside a vacuum such as space or 92768.375 miles
Light travels 186300 mps how far will it travel in 1billionth of a second?
Light would travel just less than 1 foot in a billionth of a second, or roughly 11 3/4 inches.
What is meant by light year is how far light travel in one?
It is the distance travelled by light in one year at a speed of 186,000 miles per second
How far does light travel one hour miles?
How far does light travel in one hour
What is the term for the distance light can travel in a billionth of a second?
Light second
How does lightyear travel in 1 second?
A light-year is a measure of distance, just like a foot, a meter or a mile. A measure of distance is not considered to travel. If the question is how far light travels in one second, the answer is 299,792.458 kilometers, or about 186,286 miles. The speeds noted refer to light moving in a vacuum.
Light travel 300 000 kilometer per second one light year is equal to the distance that light travel in a year at the rate of 000 km per second find how many kilometer light travel in one minute?
The information about a light-year is not relevant to answer this particular question. To find out how far light goes (in a vacuum) in any specific time, simply multiply 300,000 (km/second) by the number of seconds.
