a) It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

b) The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

Gamma rays X-rays Ultraviolet rays Visible region InfraredMicrowave Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of $3x10^{8}m/s$ .

a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is $3.85x10^{8} m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

t = 1.28s

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is $5.76x10^{10}m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

t = 192s

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.
