प्रश्न
A cricket ball is seen to hit the bat first and the sound of hitting is heard a little later. Why?
उत्तर
At first, we see the ball hitting the bat and then we hear the sound of hitting because light (3 × 108 m/s) travels faster than sound (340 m/s) in air.
Therefore, we hear the sound of hitting a little later than we see it.
