Lightning and thunder occur at the same time and at the same distance from us.Yet, lightning is seen earlier than thunder is heard. Can you explain this? [2 MARKS]
After 22 seconds of lightning, a thundering sound was heard. Calculate the height of the clouds which caused this lightning. Given, Speed of light = 3 x 108 m/s and Speed of sound = 340 m/s.
The sound produced by a thunderstorm is heard 10 s after the lightning is seen. Calculate the approximate distance of the thunder cloud. (Given speed of sound = 340 ms−1)
