Information transmitted by electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light. There is no limit on the quantity of bytes.

(Information transmitted through a medium like microwaves in air, optical fiber, cable, wires, etc. are able to transport information and are electromagnetic but they travel at a speed somewhat less than the speed of light in a vacuum. The answer is however still the same. There is no limit.)

How many computer bytes per second equals the speed of light?

While the electric current which is used to communicate data in a computer propagates roughly with the speed of light, the question compares apples with pears and cannot be answered thus. The speed of light is a measure of speed, in a unit of distance over time. A data transfer rate, as might be expressed in bytes per second, is a measure for a quantity over time.


How many miles a second does the light travel?

The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second.


How many miles does light travel in 0.1 seconds?

distance = speed x time. Multiply the speed of light (in miles/second in this case) by the time in seconds, to get the distance travel in miles.


How many km can the speed of light travel in one year?

One one year's time, light can travel 9.4605284 × 1012 kilometers.


Is electricity as fast as light?

No, electricity does not travel at the speed of light. The speed at which electricity travels depends on the medium it is passing through. In most cases, electricity travels at a fraction of the speed of light.


Will humans be able to travel faster than light in the future?

That seems unlikely. Any method used to travel faster than the speed of light would also make it possible to travel to the past; and as any science-fiction fan knows, that is quite problematic.


Is clock speed is measured in bytes?

No, clock speed is not measured in bytes. Clock speed is a measure of how many cycles a computer's CPU can perform in a second, typically measured in Hertz (Hz) or gigahertz (GHz). Bytes, on the other hand, measure data size or storage capacity.


How many times one can travel if he travels at the speed of light?

If one has solved the problem of how to accelerate to the speed of light and then return to normal, well then we suppose he would be free to do it as many times as he feels like it.


Why can't anything travel at a speed faster than light?

Various reasons, most of them related to the Special Theory of Relativity. 1. To speed something up so that it even reaches the speed of light (from an initial speed that is slower than light) would require infinite energy. (However, this doesn't preclude hypothetical particles that ONLY travel faster than the speed of light.) 2. If it is were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, it would also be possible to travel to the past. This is due to the definition of "simultaneity" in the Special Theory of Relativity. If you ever read stories about time travel, you would know that time travel may result in many contradictory situations, so it seems doubtful at the least.


How many hours does 310 light-years take?

I think what you are asking is how many hours it takes light to travel 310 light-years. If that is what you meant, then it takes light about 2,717,460 hours to travel 310 light-years. 310 x 365.25 x 24


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?

The distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately 93 million miles (about 150 million kilometers). At the speed of light, it would take light 500 seconds to travel this distance. This is because light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second or 299,792 kilometers per second.


How many kilometers does the light travel?

If there is an unobstructed path, it can continue traveling practically forever.
