area is scalar or vector quantity

Area is the product of two lengths. Length is a scalar quantity, the direction in the length is being measured does not influence the measurement. For instance the length of a line drawn between two points A and B is the same for AB as well as BA.
As the product of two scalar quantities is also a scalar quantity, area is a scalar quantity.

@Shivam Shukla – what is a dimensional formula of thermal conductivity
the moment of inertia of the disc used in a torsional pendulum about the suspension wire is 0.2 kg-m2 it oscillates with a period of 2 sec another disc is placed over the first one and the time period of the system becomes 2.5 sec find the moment of inertia of the second disc about the wire
Assuming light takes negligible time to travel, then 4 s is the time taken for the sound of thunder to travel to the man. Therefore, the thunder is distance = speed of sound × sound traveling time = 3 0 0 × 4 = 1 3 2 0 m .
But light do not travel at infinite speed.
It would take the light 0.000004403046 seconds to travel 1320m. I think that is negligible.

Indeed, the answer is unchanged (even if you round to many decimal places) if you account for the speed of light. This is assuming that the medium is normal air and that there are no extremely dense objects (such as a black hole) nearby. For that reason it does not matter that light is not infinitely fast.
you are right
can anybuddy give me a note of theroy of releativity
