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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
5,000 meters per hour.
You would have traveled 5200 meters.

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.
1.55 miles = 2494.4832 meters So you must travel 2494.4832 meters before you can say that you have traveled 1.55 miles.
Any wall in any enclosed room , hill or obstacle about 17 meters away or more will produce an echo.
15 minutes(.30 meters / minutes) = 4.5 meters
