  SpeedOfLight

Sigma KEE - SpeedOfLight
SpeedOfLight(speed of light in vacuum)

appearance as argument number 1
-------------------------


(instance SpeedOfLight FunctionQuantity) Transportation.kif 5553-5553 Speed of light in vacuum is an instance of function quantity
(documentation SpeedOfLight EnglishLanguage "The speed of light in vacuum, often called simply the speed of light and commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant exactly equal to 299792458 m⋅s−1. It is exact because, by international agreement, a metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1⁄299792458 second. The value 299,792,458 metres per second is approximately 1 billion kilometres per hour; 700 million miles per hour.[Wikipedia]") Transportation.kif 5554-5558 Speed of light in vacuum is an instance of function quantity
(equal SpeedOfLight
    (SpeedFn

        (MeasureFn 1 SecondDuration)))
Transportation.kif 5563-5566 equal speed of light in vacuum and 299792458 meter(s) per 1 second duration(s)
