Detailed Solution

A man standing on a terrace hears thunder. The time interval between a lightning flash and the first clap of thunder was found to be 15 seconds. The speed of sound in air is 332 m/sec. The distance of the flash from the observer is 4980 m.
According to the question, the time interval (T) = 15 seconds, 
The speed of sound in air (v) = 332 m/sec,
Then, the distance covered by the sound wave can be calculated from,
Distance = Velocity × Time
Therefore, Distance = 332 × 15
= 4980 m
