SPEED OF SOUND Sound of all kJudaJ the softest whisper, bngle notes, the clap of thunder, or the crack of a rifle, travels through the air with a speed of 1,124 Heet per second. ; Light travels so fast that it may be treated as being seen at any distance the insttnl it starts. These two properties of light And sound may be used to determine the distance a thunder cloud is away, by multiplying the num- rtAr fit aannnAa Ka1w..n 2 the flash and hearing the thund. er, by 1,121ft- and the prodaot will give the distance in feet. This can be reduced to yards by di viding it by 3, the number of feet in a yard: into miles by di viding by 5,280, he number ol feet in a mile. : ' r .
