There is ringing on the front wall from the big bang that may interfere with detecting the back wall refections. So if you waiting for the second backwall bounce the front wall ringing should be gone and you can measure the difference between the two bounces.

Why would measuring the difference between a second and third back-wall echo sometimes be mote accurate than between the first and second back-wall echo?

Measuring the difference between the second and third back-wall echo can be more accurate because these echoes are further apart in time, providing a larger time interval to calculate the speed of sound accurately. In contrast, the first and second back-wall echoes are closer in time and can introduce more errors due to the shorter time interval.

What is the essential difference between Ostwald and Ubbelohde viscometer?

The essential difference between Ostwald and Ubbelohde viscometers is the method of measuring viscosity. Ostwald viscometer measures the flow time of a fixed volume of liquid through a capillary, while the Ubbelohde viscometer measures the flow time of a fixed volume of liquid out of a calibrated capillary. Additionally, the Ubbelohde viscometer is more accurate and suitable for measuring the viscosity of transparent liquids.
