The Problem of the Music Concert



         Recently I was at a music concert in Calcutta. I was sitting only one hundred feet away from the musicians.

           The performance was being broadcasted. My sister Vasantha who lives in Bangalore also heard the same concert on the radio. I am sure you know that Bangalore is over a thousand miles away from Calcutta, and also that travels at 1 100 feet per second. 

            Do you think there was any difference in the times at which the music was heard by Vasantha and myself? If so which one of us did hear the given note first?

Answer:   Yes, Vasantha did. The person listening to the radio hears the given note first.
