According to the present SI definition of the metre, how much time (approximately) does light in vacuum take to travel a distance of exactly 1 m1\,\text{m}? (Take c=3.00×108 m s−1c = 3.00\times10^{8}\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}.) a) 3.33×10−10 s3.33\times10^{-10}\,\text{s} b) 3.33×10−8 s3.33\times10^{-8}\,\text{s} c) 3.34×10−9 s3.34\times10^{-9}\,\text{s} d) 2.99×10−9 s2.99\times10^{-9}\,\text{s}
