If the speed of sound in air is 340 ms−1. How far does it travel in 22 seconds?
Speed = 340ms−1 and time = 22 s
Distance travelled by sound = speed of sound in air× time Distance = 340×22=7480 m≈7.5 km
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)
