Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s[/tex]

So, the required time is [tex]5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s[/tex]

Answer: B. 5.36x10-6 s
