A person hears the sound of explosion of a bomb after 5 s. If the velocity of sound in air is `330 ms^(-1)`, the distance between the bomb and the person is ____ km.

A

1

B

`1.65`

C

`2.35`

D

`330`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Speed of sound =`("distance")/("time ")`
` d= s xx t = 330 xx 5 = 1650 m= 1.65 km `
