A sound is heard 5 s later than the lightning is seen in the sky on a rainy day. Find the distance of location of lightning? Given the speed of sound 346 `ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Speed = `"Distance"/"time"`
Distance = speed x time =346 x 5 = 1730 m
Thus , the distance of location of lightning =1730 m
