The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** During a thunderstorm, light is seen much earlier than the sound is heard. - During a thunderstorm, we typically observe lightning (which produces light) before we hear the thunder (which produces sound). This is a common experience and can be attributed to the different speeds at which light and sound travel. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Light travels faster than sound. - The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) meters per second. In contrast, the speed of sound in air at room temperature is about \(343\) meters per second (or roughly \(3.43 \times 10^2\) m/s). - Clearly, the speed of light is significantly greater than the speed of sound. ### Step 3: Establish the Relationship Between the Statements - Since light travels much faster than sound, it follows that in a thunderstorm, the light from the lightning will reach an observer before the sound of thunder does. - Therefore, Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. **Final Answer:** The correct option is the first one, indicating that both statements are true and Statement 2 explains Statement 1. ---
