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 340ms−1.
Solution:  
Given : v=340m∕ s,t=1.8 s
Distance travelled by sound =2d
‌ Distance ‌‌=‌ speed ‌×‌ time ‌
2d‌=v×t
d‌=‌
v×t
2

‌=‌
340×1.8
2

‌=170×1.8
‌=306m.
