When a gun is fired its sound his heard a little after seeing its flash?
The light shown by the flash travels at the speed of light, while sound waves travels slower. It is the different speeds of light and sound that causes sound to be heard after seeing the flash.
From the stands of a race track why do you notice smoke from the starter's gun before you hear it fire?
Light travels faster than the sound. Light from the sun reflects off the smoke to your eyes at a rate of 300 000 000 m/s, while the sound from the gun (happening at the exact same time as the reflection of light off the smoke) travels at only 340 m/s. Therefore, the light will reach your eyes before the sound reaches your ears.
Will 160 dB hurt your ear?
if you are always exposed to the 160dB sound (gun shot, perhaps?), it will affect your hearing. I've read an article on hearing loss saying that if a sound reaches 85dB or stronger, it can cause permanent damage..
Is gun sound and smoke produced at the same time?
The smoke is produced slightly before the sound. Smoke is produced by the ignition of the propellant in the round. The sound is produced when the bullet passes through the sound barrier.
