A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t = 1.5 s later the student hears the associated clap of thunder.Sound travels at 343 m/s in the air. What distance from the student is the lightning strike, in meters? Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in the air. How long, t1, in seconds did it take the light to reach the student's eyes after the lightning strike?
