Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 ns

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\cos \left(60^{\circ}\right)=\frac{A C}{A B}\) \(A B=\frac{A C}{\cos \left(60^{\circ}\right)}=\frac{0.2}{1 / 2}=0.4 m\) \(t=\frac{A B}{v}\) \(t=\frac{0.4}{2 \times 10^8}=0.2 \times 10^{-8} s\) \(t=2 \times 10^{-9} s\) \(t=2 ns\)
