    Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously. But thunder is heard a few seconds after the flash is seen. Why?

    A)  The speed of sound is greater than the speed of light.

    B)                         The speed of sound is equal to the speed of light.

    C)                         The speed of light is greater than the speed of sound.

    D)                         All of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Thunder is heard later because the speed of light (flash) is much greater \[(3\times {{10}^{8}}\,m\,{{s}^{-1}})\] than the speed of sound \[(330\,m\,{{s}^{-1}}).\]
