A person will see a flash of lightning before they hear the thunder that goes with it because?
Light travels faster than sound, so the light from the lightning reaches our eyes almost instantly, whereas the sound of thunder takes longer to reach our ears because it travels slower. This difference in speed results in the flash of lightning being seen before the accompanying thunder is heard.
Why is thunder heard after the lightning is seen?
Thunder is heard after lightning because light travels faster than sound. When lightning occurs, it heats the surrounding air quickly, causing it to expand rapidly. This rapid expansion creates shock waves that we hear as thunder, but it takes longer for sound to travel through the air to reach our ears compared to light.
Why is the sound of a thunder heard after the lighting is seen although they are produced at the same time?
Light travels faster than sound, so when lightning strikes, the light is seen immediately while the sound takes time to reach our ears. The delay in hearing the thunder allows us to calculate the distance of the storm based on the time difference between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder.
Why do you see lightning before you hear the thunder it makes?

What travels faster than a rocket?
Sound, Light....
Why sound of light can't be heard?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Light, on the other hand, travels as electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium. Therefore, light does not produce sound waves that can be heard by the human ear.
