sorry for the title, i know that it is incorrect but it gets your attention.

"c per second"
actually i want to know the clock cycle of light.
hmm, it is hard to explain.

I can obtain the theoretical bps (Bits Per Second) limitations in Fiber Optics, and therefore i can calculate the clock cycle that is necessary to optimally use the pulses of Fiber Optics.

But what i really want to know if there exists one (carefully developed) integer for how many light pulses there are per second. Because the digit that i found was probably developed by a layman and i need accuracy in my calculations.

There are others here better qualified to respond to your question but unless I miss understand your question it seems you are speaking of frequency and frequency varies with color. pps would be 1/f.

To cloud your picture further, I have read that the mathamtics developed by the Sumarian culture did so for business and economic purpose s. Ober the years the following scientific development of mathamatics used the same business applications coverted to "scientific needs", as if balancing ledger acounts is equivalent to balncing energy distribution accounts.

As an additional thought, C in m/sec means that C/sec. is in units of m/sec^2, or acceleration. I am sure you are aware of this as you said your intention was to get the attention of the audience.
