Calculate the maximum and minimum distance for echo if speed is 360m/s.
Answers
Answer:
17.2 M if the minimum distance
Explanation:
mark me as branilest answer
Answer:
The total distance between a sound source and the reflector is twice that. So, if the obstacle is at least 17 m away, then after 0.1 second, the reflected sound or the echo is clearly detected.
Hence, to hear a clear echo, the minimum distance between the reflecting surface and the observer is 17 m.
So, the correct answer is option C.
Note- Echo is a distortion of the sound that comes to the listener with a pause following the direct tone. The delay is directly proportional to the distance from the source and the listener to the reflecting surface. Echoes are used for detecting an obstacle / barrier by birds, dolphins and fishermen. They are also used for detecting an obstacle in SONAR (Sound Navigation and Range) and RADAR (Radio Detection and Rangement).
