I make the distance from Perth to Brisbane to be about 3,613.9 kilometers (2,246 miles).
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.
At that speed, the trip takes (3,613,900 / 299,792,458) = 0.012 second
(12,054,672 nanoseconds . . . 12,054 microseconds)

How fast does light travel in five minutes?
Light travels at a constant velocity, no matter what time it is given to travel. Light would travel at exactly 299,792,458 ms-1 in five minutes, but only in a vacuum.
If light did not travel in a straight line?
Light is a particle that acts like a wave and therefore does not travel in a straight line. light has nothing to do with gravity, the fourth dimension or the 'fabric' of space time.
Why do light waves require a medium in which to travel?
Light waves do not require a medium through which to travel. They will travel (propagate) perfectly well in a vacuum. Otherwise, light would not pass through the vacuum of space. It would be very dark here on earth as the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.
How many seconds would it take to travel to the sun if you traveled at the speed of light when the radius of the earth is 6371 km equals 3960 mi?
It would take about 496 seconds to travel to the sun at the speed of light.
What does when light travels from one medium to another' mean Im not completetly sure on the word MEDIUM in this context?
From 1 medium to the other means that light would travel from one object to another. So, it is basically any object that the light passes through.
What direction would you travel in going from Europe to Australia?
you would have to travel northwest.
Which direction would you be heading from the South Pole to Australia?
To travel from the South Pole to any other country in the world (including Australia), you would have to go north.
Can an object travel as fast as light?
No. If something could it would have to move about 700million mph. That's why it is hard to travel to other planets.
What direction would you travel from Australia to Chile?
west
How long would it take to travel to Australia from London at the speed of light?
It would take roughly 0.06 seconds if you find it using the equation S=Vt xD(time = Distance / speed)
What direction would you go to travel from Mexico to Canada?
Australia
How long would it take nasa to travel a light year?
There is currently no technology that would enable human astronauts, from NASA or from any other organization, to travel one light year. There are some theoretical proposals for ideas that might work, but nothing even on the horizon for now. we can travel in space ROUGHLY 30,000 mph...at that rate it would take us ROUGHLY 22,366 years to travel 1 light year
If you could travel at the speed of light how long would it take you to travel from one side of the milky way galaxy to the other?
Between 100,000 and 180000 years.
If you could travel at the speed of light how long would it take to travel from one side of the Milky Way galaxy to the other?
Between 100,000 and 180000 years.
What lies between Switzerland and Australia?
Switzerland and Australia are on opposite sides of the world. To go from Switzerland to Australia you would travel over Europe, the middle East, India, the Indian Ocean and possibly other places as well.
How long in years would take to travel 57 trillion km in light years?
Light years is not a time, it is a distance. It takes light about 6.025 years to travel 57 trillion km. In other words, 57 trillion km = 6.025 light years.
When traveling from Australia to the US does one travel in daylight only?
It would be possible to travel from Australia to the US in daylight by flying west from Australia, but I think that this would be very unusual. Most flights to the US depart Australia heading east across the Pacific Ocean.
