After a flash of lightning, thunder thundered in 6 seconds at what distance from the observer the lightning discharge occurred.

Data: t (the duration of the movement of the sound wave after the lightning flash to the observer) = 6 s.

Constants: V (speed of sound in air under normal conditions) = 331 m / s.

The distance between the observer and the place of the lightning discharge is determined by the formula: S = V * t.

Calculation: S = 331 * 6 = 1986 m.

Answer: The lightning discharge occurred in 1986 m from the observer.
