A radar sends an electromagnetic signal of electric field $\left( E _{0}\right)=2.25\,V / m$ and magnetic field $\left( B _{0}\right)=1.5 \times 10^{-8}\,T$ which strikes a target on line of sight at a distance of $3\,km$ in a medium After that, a pail of signal $(echo)$ reflects back towards the radar vitli same velocity and by same path. If the signal was transmitted at time $t_{0}$ from radar. then after how much time (in  $\times 10^{-5}\,s$) echo will reach to the radar?
