Question

When you sit in the stands at a baseball stadium, you will hear the crack of the bat a short time after you see the batter hit the ball. Explain.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the difference in the speed of light and sound. Light travels faster (3×10^8m/sec) than the sound (340m/sec). Therefore we are able to see the crack of the bat faster than the sound of the hit because as light travels faster than sound, light reaches our eyes faster than the sound of the hit reaching our ears. That's the reason why sound of the hit is heard after the crack of the bat when observe from a considerable distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heya.... ..

Here's ur answer :

»» That happens inside a baseball stadium or outside, depending on where you are sitting. If you are in the box seats right behind home plate, you do not experience it, but up in the cheap seats, you see clear and convincing proof that the light travels faster than sound.

Speed of light in air = 3*10^8 m/s

Speed of sound in air= 340 m/s

Gosh, science only ADDS to fun at the ballpark!
