To solve the problem of calculating the distance of the aeroplane from the radar, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The radar detects reflected waves after a time interval of 0.02 milliseconds. The speed of the waves is given as \(3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}\). We need to find the distance of the aeroplane from the radar. ### Step 2: Convert Time to Seconds Since the time is given in milliseconds, we need to convert it to seconds for consistency with the speed units. \[ ...
