प्रश्न
The thunder of cloud is heard 9.8 seconds later than the flash of lightning. If the speed of sound in air is 330 ms–1, what will be the height of the cloud?
उत्तर
Speed of sound in air v = 330 m/s
Time to hear thunder t = 9.8 s
∴ Height of the cloud = v × t
= 330 × 9.8
= 3234 m.

(The velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s.)
The velocity of sound is independent of temperature.
Assertion: The speed of sound in air is less than the speed of sound in solid.
Reason: If we increase the temperature of medium, the speed of sound increases in any medium.
