Question:
Boojho saw a cracker burst at night at a distance from his house. He heard the sound of the cracker a little later after seeing the cracker burst. Give
reason for the delay in hearing the sound.
Solution:
The light travels faster than sound. So, the light from the cracker reaches faster than that of sound of the cracker.
Speed of light in air = 3 x 108 m/s
Speed of sound in air = 330 m/s
