Echo
Echo
Echo: When a person shouts in a big empty hall, we first hear his original sound, after that we hear the reflected sound of that shout. This reflected sound is an echo. An echo is nothing but just the reflected sound. So, the repetition of sound caused by reflection of sound waves is called an echo. The sensation of sound persists in our brain for about 0.1 s. To hear a distinct echo, the time interval between the original sound and the reflected one must be atleast 0.1 s. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/sec. The distance travelled by the sound in 0.1 s = speed x time = 344 x 0.1 = 34.4 m
So, echo will be heard, if the minimum distance between the source of sound and the obstacle is = .
Conditions for the formation of Echoes
Q. A man stands in between two cliffs x and y, such that he is at a distance of 66 m from x. When he blows a whistle he hears first echo after 0.4 s and second echo after 1.2 s. Calculate: (i) speed of sound (ii) distance of the cliff y from man.
Solution: (i) Speed of sound
(ii) Distance of man from cliff

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

10thMy 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.
