Question

During lightning, thunder is produced due to

• A. a sudden expansion of air due to intense heat
• B. a collision among clouds
• C. a sudden expansion of clouds due to intense heat
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a sudden expansion of air due to intense heat

1. As the charge gets accumulated, its magnitude becomes very large.
2. The water droplets in the air act as the conductor for this charge.
3. These charges flow to meet that producing lightning and thunder.
4. So, during lightning, thunder is produced due to a sudden expansion of air due to intense heat.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
