What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?
The two mistakes are that sound travels slower than light, so if you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time, the explosion actually happened some time earlier. Additionally, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so the light from the explosion will reach you much sooner than the sound.
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.
How can you hear a fire engine coming around the corner before you can see it?
