Answer:
5832 metres is the required answer.
Explanation:
According to the Question
It is given that ,
- Time taken to heard the thunderstorms ,t = 18s
- Speed of Sound in air ,S = 324m/s
we need to calculate the how far from him/her the lighting reach the ground . Obviously we have to calculate the distance covered by sounds in the given condition.
Let the distance covered by the sound is d m .
We know that
• Distance covered = speed of light × time
Substitute the value we get
➺ d = 324×18
➺ d = 5832 m
➺ d = 5832 metres
- Hence, the lighting was about 5832 metres far from you.
