What else can I help you with?
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
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.
Why do you hear thunderclap after a lightning flash?
Because light travels faster than sound. So the light reaches you first then the sound comes after.
Why light is faster than sound?
Light is faster than sound because it travels in the form of electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, travels as mechanical vibrations through a medium, such as air or water, which causes it to move at a slower speed than light.
Why do you see the puff of smoke from a pistol before the bang?
The puff of smoke is produced by the gunpowder igniting, creating hot gases that expand rapidly. This expansion pushes the bullet out of the barrel, causing a delay before the sound, or bang, reaches your ears. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, so you see the smoke before you hear the noise.
Why does lightning first?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, therefore you see lightning first during a thunderstorm, then you hear the thunder. *yikes!* :) ilovecatz1234
What energy transformations take place when a firework explodes?
When a firework explodes, chemical potential energy in the explosive material is converted into thermal energy and light energy, resulting in an explosion and the formation of colorful lights. Some of the energy is also transferred to sound energy in the form of the loud bang you hear during the explosion.

How do you produce and hear a sound?
If you bang your fist on the table, there is a big 'thump'. This 'thump' is the noise you produced, and you can hear that 'thump'. Therefore, you can produce and hear a sound.
Explosion-do you see it first and then hear it?
