प्रश्न
The time interval between a lighting flash and the first sound of thunder was found to be 6 s. If the speed of sound in air is 330 ms-1, find the distance of the flash from the observer.
उत्तर
The distance of the flash from the observer = speed in air x time taken for the first sound to reach
330 x 6 = 1980m
