Why an explosion 100 light years away can be seen?
An explosion that occurs 100 light years away can be seen on Earth because light travels at a finite speed, so it takes time for the light from the explosion to reach us. Since the speed of light is finite, any event that occurs in the universe will have a delay in when we see it on Earth, depending on its distance.
Which sound travel faster a bomb explosion or humming of bee?
A bomb explosion travels faster than the humming of a bee because the explosion produces a shockwave that moves at the speed of sound in the medium (air), which is much faster than the buzzing sound produced by a bee.
Why is the light of a distant explosion seen first before the sound of the explosion is heard?
Light travels much faster than sound. When an explosion occurs, light travels as electromagnetic waves and reaches our eyes almost instantly. However, sound travels more slowly as mechanical waves through the air, so there's a delay before it reaches our ears. This is why we see the light first before hearing the sound of a distant explosion.
