A sudden discharge of static electricity during a thunderstorm?
When a thunderstorm generates lightning, the sudden discharge of static electricity occurs when the difference in charge between clouds and the ground is neutralized. This discharge creates a bright flash of light and a loud sound, known as thunder. The rapid movement of electric charges causes the air and surrounding objects to heat up and expand, resulting in the loud thunderclap we hear.
Would the pilot of an airplane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
No, the pilot of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier would not hear the sonic boom because the aircraft is traveling at the same speed as the sound waves it creates. The sonic boom is heard on the ground as the aircraft passes overhead.
Would a pilot in a plane breaking the sound barrier hear a sonic boom?
No, the pilot inside the plane would not typically hear the sonic boom generated by their aircraft when breaking the sound barrier. The shockwaves are behind the plane, so they wouldn't be able to hear it. They may feel some vibration or turbulence, but not the sonic boom itself.
Examples to show that light travels faster than sound?
An example that shows light travels faster than sound are: - You see the lightning before you hear the thunder. - You see the light coming from the lighthouse before you hear the foghorn. Unless the storm is right overhead, you will see the lightning before you hear the thunder. An experiment you can do to prove that light travels faster than sound is you can ask your friend to turn on a torch and make a huge noise at the same time from quite a distance from where you are standing. If you have a large distance between you and your friend, you will probably see the light before you hear the sound.
Did passengers on the Concorde hear its sonic boom?
Yes, passengers on the Concorde could hear the sonic boom when the aircraft broke the sound barrier. The sonic boom created a loud noise as the plane traveled faster than the speed of sound, resulting in a sudden change in air pressure that produced the characteristic sound.
Why do you hear the sound of lightning a few moments after you see the sky light up?
Sound moves much slower than light, so you hear the boom of thunder after the flash.
Boom boom boom let me hear you say Bradley?
bradley !
When the sound barrier is broken why would you hear 2 booms and why would you hear 1 boom?
1 boom
How do you figure out far you are from the lightning in a thunderstorm?
The next time theres a thunderstorm, try a little experiment with sound. Try to time how long it takes distant sounds to reach you. From the safety of our home, count the seconds between the time you see a flash of lightning and the time you hear the noise of the thunder.
How does lightning work to create the spectacular displays we see in the sky during a thunderstorm?
Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs between clouds or between a cloud and the ground during a thunderstorm. When the electrical charge in the atmosphere becomes unbalanced, lightning strikes to equalize the charge. This rapid movement of electrical charges creates a bright flash of light and the accompanying thunder. The heat generated by the lightning causes the air to rapidly expand and contract, creating the booming sound we hear as thunder. The combination of the bright light and loud sound creates the spectacular displays we see in the sky during a thunderstorm.
Why do you have to hear where the sonic boom is?
Because you do
What is heat lightning?
Heat lightning is lightning from a distant thunderstorm. Because of the great distance, you never hear the thunder, and usually do not see the bolt, but rather a flash in distant clouds. It is usually seen at night.

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
If you break the sound barrier do you hear the boom again once you slow down?
Yes. If you were to slow to subsonic speeds, the boom can catch up to you, and you would hear it.
