If you want to be as accurate as possible you will need to start with the temperature of the air. Once you know the temperature of the air you plug it in to this formula: V = 331 √1 + (T/273) V is the velocity of sound in air at temperature T in degrees Celsius. Now that you know how fast sound will travel through the air at the current temperature, measure the time it takes for the sound to be transmitted and the echo received. Take that number and plug it in to this formula: V = m/s or Velocity = meters/seconds From that we get: Distance = Velocity/time Divide the distance in half and you have your distance from the object which the echo bounced off of.

A bounced sound wave is called?
A bounced sound wave is acalled an echo. You can hear these echos when you yell into a cave or a crevasse or an abyss.
Find the frequency of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.5 meter. Could you hear this sound?
To find the frequency, use the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 m/s, the frequency of the sound wave would be approximately 229 Hz. Yes, this frequency is within the audible range for humans, so you would be able to hear this sound.
How do you investigate the speed o f sound?
One way to investigate the speed of sound is to measure the time it takes for a sound wave to travel a known distance, like using a stopwatch to measure the time between the sight of a lightning bolt and the sound of thunder. Another method is to use a resonance tube or other equipment to create sound waves and measure the wavelengths at different frequencies to calculate the speed of sound.
Speed of sound application?
SONAR is an application based on the speed of sound. Sound waves are emitted, they bounce off object and some are captured by a receiver. The time taken between emitting the sound and receiving it, multiplied by the speed of sound in that medium, gives the distance that the sound has travelled. The distance to the object can therefore be calculated. If two or three receivers are used then the location of the object can be identified in a 2-dimensional plane or 3-d space. Some species of bats, whales, dolphins are examples of animals that use echo-location.
Susie hammers on a block of wood when she is 85 m from a large brick wall Each time she hits the block she hears an echo 0.5 s later With this info calculate the speed of sound?
To calculate the speed of sound, we can use the formula speed = distance/time. Since the sound travels from Susie to the wall and back, the total distance is 2 * 85m = 170m. The total time for the sound to travel this distance is 0.5s (from Susie to the wall) + 0.5s (from the wall back to Susie) = 1s. Therefore, the speed of sound is 170m / 1s = 170 m/s.
How do you use an echo to calculate speed?
To calculate speed using an echo, measure the time it takes for a sound wave to travel to an object and back. Divide the total distance by the time taken to get the speed. This method is commonly used in technologies like sonar and radar.
What are the uses of echo?
no use, just sound bouncing of barriers
Which animal uses echo location?
Bats use echo location, they track down sounds of prey by their sound waves.
What kind of math do sound technician use?
They can use formulas that are based on how sound grows weaker over the distance it travels and how the sound will echo off of walls.
How can I effectively remove echo from a room?
To effectively remove echo from a room, you can use sound-absorbing materials like carpets, curtains, and acoustic panels to reduce sound reflections. Additionally, adding furniture and soft furnishings can help absorb sound waves and minimize echo.
Use information sources to find out which aeroplane travels faster than speed of sound?
many.
How can I effectively reduce echo in a room for recording?
To reduce echo in a room for recording, you can use sound-absorbing materials like acoustic panels, carpets, and curtains to dampen sound reflections. Additionally, positioning furniture and equipment strategically can help break up sound waves and minimize echo.
What do bats use to navigate in the dark?
Echo location via high frequency sound
A bounced sound wave is called?
A bounced sound wave is acalled an echo. You can hear these echos when you yell into a cave or a crevasse or an abyss.
What are the importance of echo?
· An echo is a reflection of sound waves when they hit upon any obstacle in their path. · This property of sound is employed by many animals,birds,insects and of course,humans.Bats are the most famous ones to use echo for catching food. · The property echo is extensively used by submarines and undersea explorations.
What is the singular possessive form of the word echo?
It would be very unusual to use "echo" (meaning the reflection of a sound) in a possessive manner in normal conversation. I suppose you could say:- The echo's sound was muted (=singular possessive) or The echos' sounds were muted (=plural possessive)
How do dolphins use echo?
they will send out the sound and once it hits the fish, the sound waves bounce back to the dolphin forming a picture for them.
