Question

The time interval between a lightning flash and thunder is 5 s. (speed of sound wave is 330m/s) Find the distance of flash from the observer. 660 m. 1650 m 1650 m/s 330 m

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the sound, distance traveled and the time taken relationship is given as follows.

Speedofsound=

Timetaken

Distancetravelled

From this equation the Distance traveled is derived as

Distancetravelled=Speedofsound×Timetaken

That is, Distancetravelled=330m/s×5seconds, given that the speed of sound is 330 m/s.

= 1650 meters.
