What is lightning ?

Ratan saw a flash of lightning and after sometime heard the sound of thunder. If the time gap between seeing and hearing is 3 s, then write the following steps in sequence to find the height from the ground where the lightning is produced. (a) Consider the velocity of sound (v) as 330 ms^(-1) . (b) Note the time gap (t) between seeing and hearing. (c) From the formula, speed = ("distance")/("time taken") , height at which lightning was produced = speed of sound xx time interval. (d) Substitute the values in the equation (1) and find the value of the height of the lightning from the ground.
