You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. which is the best explanation for this?
you see the light first because cold air bends the sound waves, but not the light waves, by refraction.
the transmission of light in air is faster than the transmission of sound in air.
diffraction causes the sound to spread out more than the light waves, so you see the light sooner.

Arigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. one part of the tank contains 3 kg of compressed liquid water at 400 kpa and 60°c while the other part is evacuated. the partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. determine the entropy change of water during this process, if the final pressure in the tank is 40 kpa. use steam tables.
