Question

A person makes a loud sound and hears the echo of this sound 1 2 s
later Calculate how far the person is from the object causing the
echo Assume speed of sound is 332 m/s

Kumar Shrijan · Answer

distance = speed * time
distance = 332 * 1 2
distance = 398 4m
since we heard echo after sound get reflected by an object
so distance between person from the object will be half
distance = 398 4/2
=199 2m

A person makes a loud sound and hears the echo of this sound 1.2 s later. Calculate how far the person is from the object causing the echo. Assume speed of sound is 332 m/s
