phys 10 The speed of light is roughly 300,000,000 meters per second (m/s). In scientific notation, this quantity is:

The speed of light = 300,000,000 m/s

As this number is too large. So we often use scientific notation to represent large values as well as small values

Now to represent 300,000,000 m/s to scientific notion

=3 * (100000000) m/s

=3*10⁸ m/s

Where 8 is exponent
