Final answer:
Using the given speed of light and the distance from the sun to Jupiter, it takes light approximately 41.22 minutes to travel from the sun to Jupiter, after converting from seconds to minutes and rounding to two decimal places.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how long it takes light to travel from the sun to Jupiter, we need to use the distance and the speed of light. The distance from Jupiter to the sun is 460,000,000 miles. Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second.
First, let's find the time in seconds:
Time (seconds) = Distance / Speed = 460,000,000 miles / 186,000 miles/second = 2473.11828 seconds.
Now, we convert the time from seconds to minutes (since there are 60 seconds in a minute):
Time (minutes) = 2473.11828 seconds / 60 seconds/minute = 41.21864 minutes.
When we round this number to two decimal places, we get 41.22 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer would be 41.22 minutes, which is not listed among the given options (a) through (d). There may have been an error in the options provided.
