उत्तर
The incidence of thunderstorms in daily life shows that the velocity of sound is less than the velocity of light.
Explanation:
In a thunderstorm, we see the flash of lightning before we hear the sound of thunder. This happens because light travels much faster than sound. Light reaches our eyes almost instantly, while sound takes more time to reach our ears. Therefore, thunderstorms show that the velocity of sound is less than the velocity of light.
