    An echo is heard when the minimum distance of the reflecting surface is:

    A)  47 m

    B)  34 m

    C)   17 m

    D)  9 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Given : Velocity of sound in air \[\upsilon =340m/s\]Time for which the effect of sound remains on the human air is 1/10th of the second. Hence, the minimum distance for echo hearing sound is given by \[s=\frac{1}{2}\times \upsilon \times \Delta t=\frac{1}{2}\times 340\times \frac{1}{10}=17m\]
