light travel faster than sound. see in real life we see lightning first then we hear the thunder.
Lightning and thunder are phenomena that happen simultaneously but are observed at different times due to the difference in speed of light and sound. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning flash first and then hear the thunder that follows it later.
Lightning does not come after thunder. Thunder is the sound produced from lightning. The amount of time in between when you see the lightning and when you hear the thunder makes you think that the thunder comes first but it is in fact the other way around.
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
Light travels faster than sound, so you see lightning before you hear the thunder. The lightning flash reaches your eyes almost instantly, while the sound of thunder takes longer to reach your ears because it travels at a slower speed.
Because light travels significantly faster than sound. Speed of light (in vacuum) = 299 792 458 m/s Speed of Sound (at sea-level ) = 340.29 m/s
Really? Cause light travels faster than sound.
you see the flash of light first because light travels faster that sound. light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second whaile sound only travels at 340.29 meters per second.
Light travels much faster than sound. When a cannon fires, the light travels to your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see the flash before the sound waves reach your ears. This creates a delay between what you see and what you hear.
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
Because light travels much faster than sound.
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
Light travels faster (much faster) than sound.
it will appear as though you will see/hear at the same time, but since light travels MUCH faster than sound, the flash comes first, and then the bang
You FIRST see it, then you HEAR it. The time delay depends on your distance from the source of the explosion. The explanation, light travels faster than sound.
Lightning and thunder are phenomena that happen simultaneously but are observed at different times due to the difference in speed of light and sound. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning flash first and then hear the thunder that follows it later.
See it- speed of light, then hear it- speed of sound is MUCH slower.
The delay between the lightning and the sound of thunder is due to the difference in speed between light and sound. Light travels much faster than sound, so we see the lightning first before hearing the thunder. By counting the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, you can estimate how far away the lightning struck.
