The sound of thunder is heard after the flash of lightning because
A. Light travels slower than sound
B. Sound travels faster than light
C. Both travel at same speed
D. Light travels much faster than sound
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of light ≈ 3×10⁸ m/s, sound ≈ 340 m/s. Light reaches almost instantly, sound takes time. So thunder heard after lightning. Time delay gives distance: d = v_sound × t.
Explanation:
The volume of a sphere is given by V = (4/3)πr³. The formula for relative error in volume is (ΔV/V) = 3 × (Δr/r). Since the percentage error in radius (Δr/r × 100) is 2%, the percentage error in volume will be 3 × 2% = 6%. Constants like 4/3 and π do not contribute to the error.
