The thunder of cloud is heard 9.8 seconds later than the flash of lightning. If the speed of sound in air is `330 ms^(-1)`, what will be the height of the cloud?
Give : Time, t = 9.8 s
Speed of sound, `V= 330ms^(-1)`
To find : Height of the cloud, d = ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V = d/t rArr d` height of the cloud,= `V xx t`
` = 330xx 9 .8 `
Height of the cloud d = 3234 m
