What is the minimum distance needed for an echo?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The minimum distance needed for an echo is `1//20 ^ (th )` part of the magnitude of the velocity of sound in air.
`* ` If you consider the velocity sound as `344" m/s"`, the minimum distance required to hear an echo is 17.2 m
