Echo
A Special Feature Of The Human Ear- Persistence Of Hearing
The human ear has a special feature. This is its property of persistence of hearing. When a given sound reaches the human ear and affects the ear drum, its effect ‘stays on’ in the ear drum for nearly 1/10th, i.e. 0.1 of a second. This helps us to get a ‘feeling of continuity’ while hearing one sound after another.
Echo
Let be a common experience that when we shout into a well or inside an empty hall, or inside a dome, we hear our own sound after a short time. It happens because our sound is reflected from the walls. When sound waves strikes a surface, they return back into the same medium. This phenomenon is called reflection, this is known as echo.
Relation between speed of sound, time of hearing echo and distance of reflecting body :
Let t be the time at which an echo is heard, d is the distance between the source of sound and the reflecting body and v is the speed of sound. The total distance travelled by the sound is 2d. Speed of sound, or

The sensation of sound last or presists in our brain for 0.1 s (1 /10 sec) even after the source of sound has stopped vibrating. Taking sound speed (v) to be 344 m/s.
Thus, for hearing distinct echoes, the minimum distance of the obstacle from the source of sound must be 17.2 m from the source.
Conditions for the formation of echoes :
Types of Echoes:
(i) Instantaneous echo: The echoes of sound of short duration is called instantaneous echo.
(ii) Syllabic echo: The echo of syllables of spoken words is called syllabi echo.
(iii) Successive echo : This echo is heard when sound is produced between two distance parallel rows of tall buildings or hills.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
