Answer

Given,

Time to hear the clap = 14.4 s

speed of the light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

a) distance where lightning strike

    D = s x t

    D = 14.4 x 343

   D = 4939.2 m

b) No, we do not need to know the value of speed of light. Because we need to calculate the distance where we hear the sound. To calculate that we need to know the speed of sound.

How can an element be identified using its emission spectrum?
posledela
The correct choice is C .

Technically, choice-A is the process involved.  But it's already been done,
and widely published, and the spectrum of every element is easily available. 

For you to take the time and go to the trouble of constructing the spectra
would be like inventing wheels if you want to ride a bicycle.
