Question

the order of magnitude of the velocity of light in cgs units is​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\rm\underline\purple{Answer:-}$The order of magnitude of speed of light in S.i. units is 8. Therefore c=3×10^8 meter / second. As per the question, the order of magnitude in SI unit is the power of 10.$\huge\sf\purple{Hope It Helps}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The order of magnitude of the velocity of light in C.G.S units is​ 10

Explanation:

We are required to find the order of velocity of light in C.G.S Units.

The speed of light is 3 times to ten raised to the power of 8 in S.I Units.Hence,we write it as

$c=3\times10^{8} m/s$

C.G.S stands for centimeter-gram-second.Hence,we must convert the speed of light from m/s to cm/s.We know that $1m=100cm$

Substituting this conversion in the units of speed of light ,we obtain speed as shown-

$c=3\times10^{8}\times100cm/s=3\times10^{10}cm/s$

From the above relation,we observe that 10 is raised to the power of 10.

Therefore,the order of magnitude of the velocity of light in C.G.S units is​ 10
