The limitation is the absorption of the energy over distance. This depends on the frequency of the sound and the medium through which it travels.

The sound of a door slammed in the Hamilton Mausoleum in Hamilton, Scotland, travels over 5000 metres before fading away.

How far does a sound travel when you hear an echo?

The distance sound travels before you hear an echo depends on various factors such as the environment and the surfaces it reflects off. Generally, sound can travel up to approximately 17 meters (56 feet) before the echo becomes noticeable.


What is the minimum distance of the obstacle from the source to hear an echo?

The minimum distance for an echo to be heard is approximately 17.2 meters (56.4 feet) from the source. This accounts for the time it takes for sound to travel to the obstacle and then reflect back to the source for the echo to be perceived.


What is the formula to determine how far away is an object whose echo takes 9 seconds to return?

The formula to determine distance based on echo time is: Distance = (echo time * Speed of sound in air) / 2. Since sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second in air, if the echo takes 9 seconds to return, the distance from the object would be approximately 1543.5 meters away.


How many meters will a photon of light energy travel in one nanosecond?

About 0.3 meters in a vacuum. Divide that by 1.0003 to get the distance in meters per nanosecond through air. Divide by 1.5 for glass.

How many seconds will it take an echo to reach your ears if you yell towards a mountain 82m away?

To calculate the time it takes for an echo to reach your ears, you first determine the time it takes for the sound to travel to the mountain and back. Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second in air. For a distance of 82 meters, the total distance for the echo is 164 meters. Dividing 164 meters by 343 meters per second gives approximately 0.48 seconds for the echo to return to you.

How long would it take to hear an echo if a cliff is 600 meters away?

To calculate the time it takes to hear an echo from a cliff 600 meters away, we first need to consider the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second in air. The total distance for the sound to travel to the cliff and back is 1,200 meters (600 meters to the cliff and 600 meters back). Therefore, the time to hear the echo is 1,200 meters divided by 343 meters per second, which is about 3.5 seconds.


Why is echo heard after 0.1 seconds?

An echo is heard after a delay because sound waves take time to travel to a reflecting surface and back to the listener. The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. Therefore, if the reflecting surface is about 17 meters away, the sound will take roughly 0.1 seconds to travel to the surface and return, resulting in the listener hearing an echo after that time.

What is the minimum distance of the obstacle from the source to hear an echo?

The minimum distance for an echo to be heard is approximately 17.2 meters (56.4 feet) from the source. This accounts for the time it takes for sound to travel to the obstacle and then reflect back to the source for the echo to be perceived.


How many meters must you travel before you can say you have gone 1.55 miles?
