Careless Doug is standing on the summit of Mount Whitney (elevation 14,505 ft) while his prudent friend Hal is back at their basecamp on the shore of Iceberg Lake (elevation 12,621 ft).

How much time elapses between when Hal sees the strike and when he hears it? Use 330 m/s for the speed of sound in the cold Sierra air.

If the speed of sound in the ocean is 1530m/s, how long would it take for the dolphin to hear an echo if the ocean floor is 2.57km below it?

Why is the following situation impossible? Tsunamis are ocean surface waves that have enormous wavelengths (100 to 200 km), and the propagation speed for these waves is υ ≈ √gdavg, where davg is the average depth of the water. An earthquake on the ocean floor in the Gulf of Alaska produces a tsunami that reaches Hilo, Hawaii, 4 450 km away, in a time interval of 5.88 h. (This method was used in 1856 to estimate the average depth of the PacificOcean long before soundings were made to give a direct determination.)
