Using your knowledge of the wave nature of sound, EXPLAIN who heard the basketball hit the backboard first, the ESPN cameraman or photographer? Explain your answer. A - The camera man
B - the photographer under Miami’s goal.

I can not see the image, so i will answer in a general way.

As you know, the sound behaves like a wave, this means that the sound needs some time to cover a given distance. An example of this motion can be seen when you drop a little stone in water, and you can see how the waves expand.

This means that the one who will hear the sound first, will be always the one that is closer to the source of the sound, in this case, the sound comes from the ball hitting the backboard, then the one who is closer to the backboard will hear the sound first.
