To calculate the distance to the fireworks event, we can use the speed of sound and the time it takes for the sound to reach the observer.

Given that the time between the flash and the sound of the fireworks bang is 4 seconds and the speed of sound is 340 m/s, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 340 m/s × 4 s Distance = 1360 meters

Therefore, the distance to the fireworks event is 1360 meters.

To calculate the wavelength of the sound, we need additional information. The wavelength (λ) of a sound wave is related to its frequency (f) and the speed of sound (v) through the equation:

λ = v / f

However, without knowing the frequency of the sound wave, we cannot determine the wavelength solely based on the given information. The wavelength of a sound wave is directly related to its frequency, and without that frequency, we cannot calculate the wavelength.
