One person is standing on the balcony. On the ground immediately below,

another person is standing. The two people yell “Hey” at exactly the same

time. Who hears the sound first, the person on the ground or the person on

the balcony?

  1. Person on the ground slightly sooner, because his ears are higher than his lips, so the sound from the balcony has less far to travel.

    Assuming their heads are not tilted.


  2. Well,both hear it at the same time since speed of sound is the same.But it will differ if the intensity is different.

  3. The person on the ground.

  4. None of them im going to say that because its a "trick" question so for some reason they dont hear anything.

    Or maybe because the people who said hey arent even around or something?

  5. Neither, they are deaf

  6. Neither, they will hear the "Hey" sound at virtually the same time. They both hear their own "Hey" when they yell it at exactly the same time.

  7. neither
