Question

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n=3.50). To acquire data from memory, the central processing unit sends a light-pulse request to the memory unit. The memory unit processes the request, then sends a data pulse back to the central processing unit. The memory unit takes 0.53 ns to process a request. If the information has to be obtained from memory in 2.07 ns , what is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?
