    d = 2,998 10⁷ m

    Explanation:

    The speed of an electromagnetic wave is the speed of light

    c = 2,998 10⁸ m / s

    This speed is in a vacuum, when the light is in a material medium, its speed is lower than this, even when the order of magnitude is maintained.

    Since the speed of a wave is constant, we can use the kinematic relationship

    c = d / t

    d = c t

    Let's calculate

    d = 2,998 108 0.1

    d = 2,998 10⁷ m

    in the vacuum or air
