The refractive index of air is 1.000293

The velocity of light in a medium is given by v = c/n, where n is the refractive index and c is the speed of light, 299792458 m/s

Therefore the velocity of light in air is (299792458 (m/s)/1.000293), or 299704644.5 m/s

If Marcus flies from Chicago to Orange County at 560 mph and is in the air for 30 hours how many air miles has he traveled?

To calculate the distance Marcus has traveled, you can use the formula: distance = speed × time. If Marcus flies at 560 mph for 30 hours, the distance is 560 mph × 30 hours = 16,800 miles. Therefore, Marcus has traveled 16,800 air miles.


Is a light year 150 million km?

No. 150 million km is the distance from Earth to Sun, and this distance is called an AU (astronomical unit). Light travels this distance in about 8 minutes.A light-year is the distance traveled by light in a year, which of course is much more than the distance traveled in 8 minutes. A light-year is approximately 9.461 x 10 to the power 12 km.

How do you calculate air speed?

Air speed can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by an object in the air by the time it takes to cover that distance. The formula is: air speed = distance / time. This calculation will give you the average speed at which the object is moving through the air.
