Question

Thunder is heard little later than the flash of lightning why

Answer 1

Answer:

so in rainy season , the lightining is seen first & the sound of thunder is heard later this is due to VERY HIGH SPEED OF LIGHT THAT WE SEE THE FLASH OF LIGHTINING FIRST & IT IS DUE TO COMPARATIVELY LOW SPEED OF SOUND THAT THE THUNDER IS HEARED A LITTLE LATER

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

This is only because of the vast difference between the speed of sound and light.

Speed of light=3×10^8m/s (approx)

Speed of sound=345m/s (in air approx)

Speed of light>speed of sound

Therefore lightning is seen before sound of thunder
