you are at a large outdoor concert ,seated 300m from speaker system. the concert is also being broadcast live .consider a listener 5000 km away who recieves the broadcast who will hear the music first you are listener and by what time diffrence ? velocity of light = 3*10^8 m/s ans speed of soundin air =343 m/s

Dear Student ,
The person seated 300m away will hear it first . It has to do with the inherent delay in a satellite transmission (also it is not transmitted at the speed of light due to the electrical resistance of the wires and the broadcast of the signal through the atmosphere). I'm sure you've seen a satellite transmission of a news interview where there's a couple second delay between the two people.Now if you want to calculate the time then use the formula S =vt , then put the data and you will also see thatthe time taken by the second man is greater than the time taken by the first man .
Hope this helps you .
Regards
