AI Generated Solution

To calculate the minimum distance required between the source of sound and the obstacle to hear an echo, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of echo An echo is a reflection of sound that arrives at the listener after a delay. For us to perceive an echo, the time taken for the sound to travel to the obstacle and back to the source must be at least 0.1 seconds. ### Step 2: Use the formula for distance The distance traveled by sound can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] ...
