Question
Sound from a speaker undergoes an echo to reach the source back from a mountain located at a distance of 340 m from the source. The total time taken by the sound to cover this distance is 2 s. The speed of sound is ___ m/s.
- 340
- 200
- 400
- 150
Hint:
Distance= speed × time.
The correct answer is: 340
- Distance of the mountain from the source = 340m.
- Total distance after an echo will be (340+340)m = 680m
- Total time taken = 2sec.
- Formula: distance = speed × time.
- Therefore, 680 = speed × 2.
- Speed = 680/2
- Therefore, speed = 340m/s
- So, the correct option is a.
After echo, the total distance travelled = 2d
