Light travels at about 300,000 metres per second. The time taken for that light to reach us would depend on the stars distance.
How long does it take stars light to get to us?
In our Solar System, we see light from our sun reflected off the planets. In more distant galaxies, light from many millions of stars takes a long time to reach the Earth. It takes light 4 years to reach the Earth from Sirius, a near neighbouring star. Using the Hubble telescope, we can see the light from the Eagle Nebula, which takes 7,000 years to reach the Earth.

8 minutes and 31 seconds
How do you figure out how many sec min hrs it takes for a radio wave to reach a star that is 5 light years away?
The answer is right there in the words of the question. Radio and light are the same physical phenomenon, and they travel at the same speed. The star is 5 light years away. That means the distance that light ... and radio ... travel in five years. It takes light from the star 5 years to reach us, and it takes radio from us 5 years to reach the star.
