How long in time is a Radar Mile?

A Radar Mile is a specialized term in radar technology that refers to the distance covered by a radar signal in a specific amount of time. Specifically, a Radar Mile is defined as the distance that a radar signal travels in 12.35 microseconds.

This time duration corresponds to the time it takes for the radar signal to travel to an object and back, which is 12.35 microseconds for a one-way trip of approximately one mile (or 1,609 meters). When the radar emits a pulse, it sends out a signal that will reflect off an object and return to the radar system. The speed of light, which is the speed at which the radar signal travels, allows us to calculate this time interval so that it corresponds to a mile.

The other options do not accurately align with the established definition of a Radar Mile in radar technology, as they represent times that do not equate to the one-way distance of a mile under the principles of radar operation.
