can please someone check the answer for me
Q )if a mobile user is 0.8 km from the antenna calculate the propagation delay suffered by the signal, due to transmission time alone, when it traverses the network from user to antenna.
Answe- 0.8km/3000000 km/sec (speed of light)
yes, correct. I would have put the answer in nanoseconds.
I have the same question !
is this the answer to two decimal places?
am I supposed to divide 0.8 by 3000000 or not? please help :)
To calculate the propagation delay suffered by the signal, due to transmission time alone, you can use the formula:
Propagation delay = Distance / Speed of light
In this case, the distance is given as 0.8 km, and the speed of light is approximately 300,000 km/sec. Plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate the propagation delay:
Propagation delay = 0.8 km / 300,000 km/sec
Calculating this, we get:
Propagation delay = 0.0000027 seconds
So, the propagation delay suffered by the signal, due to transmission time alone, when it traverses the network from the user to the antenna is approximately 0.0000027 seconds.
