Josh observed a bolt of lightning during a thunderstorm. It took more than 15 seconds for Josh to hear the sound of thunder. Why did Josh see the lightning strike before he heard the thunder?
Thunder always takes 15 seconds to travel through the air after lighting strikes.
Light waves from the lightning and sound waves from the thunder moved through different mediums.
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that travel much faster than mechanical waves, such as the sound wave he heard as thunder.
The conditions in the air at the time allowed light waves to move faster than the sound waves he hears as thunder.
