Explain the formation of thunder.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a lighting bolt travels through the air, an electron flow takes place. This electron flow through the air leaves behind it a little hollow channel in the air. After the electron flow is over, the surrounding air rushes back to reoccupy the hole due to the existing vacuum. The hollow channel collapses as air rushes in making the deafening clap of sound that we call thunder.
