to measure sound from distance use decibels
The three ways that sound waves interact are: reflection, diffraction, refraction.

The speed of sound is the distance travelled by the sound waves in the time between the original sound and the echo. For a direct echo, the distance travelled is double the distance to the reflecting surface.
That depends how close you measure to the speaker. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter. In 1 meter distance the sound pressure level is arround 60 decibels SPL.
There are a few different ways you could measure the speed of sound in water and air. You could record the amount of time it takes a sound to be heard from the source to the destination for example.
That depends how close you measure "the ocean". The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
To measure the wavlength of light or sound, you measure the distance from ther crest (hump) of the wave to the trough (dip) of the wave.
That depends how close you measure to the bus. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
Animals such as bats project sound waves at objects and use the time until the perception the reflected wave to determine the distance of the object. This is called echolocation. Humans have used the same principles to develop Sonar technology, which is used primarily underwater to detect objects under water (we have radar and plain sight to detect objects in air).
There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.
