Question : 47
Total: 70
An observer stands at a certain distance away from a cliff and produces a loud sound. He hears the echo of the sound after 1.8s. Calculate the distance between the cliff and the observer if the velocity of sound in air is 340 ms − 1 .
Solution:
Given : v = 340 m ∕ s , t = 1.8 s
Distance travelled by sound= 2 d
Distance = speed × time
2 d = v × t
d =
=
= 170 × 1.8
= 306 m .
